so grandma sumpter and her friend mrs. gloria decided i needed a shindig to properly introduce me to my jacksonville friends and family...
i thought i saw the paparazzi peeking through the sunroom window as grandma introduced us...no pix please, i'm on vacation...
mom assured me the coast was clear...
so i emerged from my shell and let my hair down...
check out me and dad in our green seer sucker shorts...all we needed were some green 'gator sandals to do it FL style :o)
i'll be so glad when i can eat table food...check out the spread the ladies put together...
this is me with dad's cousin sharon...i talked about the tall genes in the previous post...she's definitely got 'em, she's about 6'2"...and that's not including the high heels she had on...you go girl!
here's mrs. gloria playing "the price is right"...the ladies had to try and guess how much the baby items cost...mom was disqualified from the games...something about insider trading...
ms. monique joined in the fun as the ladies tried to find safety pins in a bowl of rice...oh yeah, while blindfolded
here's me with ms. tazena (dad's cousin), cousin keirani, and sis. tansy (g'ma's friend from church)
in this shot we've got sis. marvette and sis. gibson (more of g'ma's friends from church), my cousins keirani and janae (w/ damiya on her lap) and sis. tansy again.
over here we've got mrs. jennings, mrs. holloway (how did we not get a shot of miss lashonda...any hoo), dad's cousin ms. trish and auntie pearl
as promised, here is a shot of one of my other cousins, brandon (in the back in the green shorts)...he calls me "mr.b" and i crack up every time...
speaking of cracking up...who knew hangers could bring dad so much joy...i guess it is the little things
i recived lots of cards, clothes (can't wait 'til i'm big enough to wear 'em all), gift cards, and cash. i was left speechless by the huge outpouring of love and generosity...i was truly showered. i'm glad i got to experience one of these on the outside...big thanks to all my jacksonville peeps! love you guys!!!
