The Donleys: Sunday's Family ShinDig

Sunday, Loren had another birthday party. Grandpa Rodgie's family was in town, so it was a huge fiesta. Callie and Bret, Rodgie's Daughter and Husband, and their 3 kids, Bret's brother, sister and her son, Bret's Mom and Dad, Cousin Erin and Chad, Uncle Ryan, Rodgie's son, and Grandma and Pa, Chris' mom and dad. It was CRAAAZY.

Uncle Ryan and the girls hangin' out, and Baby Seth sleeping on the table.

Morgan and some great dress up.

Cora wants something and is happy about it.

Baby Cody, 6 weeks younger than Cora, loves food.

Loren's flower cake that Grammy made. She makes the best cakes.

Mostly the girls were so happy to see eachother. It was a highlight of Loren's Brithday.

SO MANY NAMES

Many of you ask...why so many names? Well, we have too many special people in our lives that we want to honor. So here's how we got to our latest addition:
Cora is Chris' Great Aunt. She is now 94 at still going strong. It is also a derivation of one of the most special women in my life, my role model, and true example: Corla. Finally, and least important, it is Brody Jenner's ex-girlfriend. I saw it in People magazine. She was beautiful, and not a crazy cat lady. Therefore, Cora it was.
Elisabeth is my favorite cousin, my aunt in South Carolina, and a derivation of Chris' Aunt Betty. Anne, well that is everybody. ME, Aunt Annie, Chris' Great Great Grandma, My Aunt Julieanne, My Aunt Christine Anne, Chris' Mom Mariann and the list goes on and on. And Elisabeth Anne is my best friend growing up. All people I want my darling to emulate.

You do have two kids

Yes, Loren's name came from special places as well. Loren is Chris' middle name. His mom's maiden name is Lorensen. The Burgess line also has a few Lorens as well. Katherine is Chris' grandma; she lived with them Chris' entire life until April 1996. She was a fabulous, strong woman. Katherine Louise is Chris' sister. Louise is my middle name, my mom's middle name, and my grandma's middle name; although, she goes by Louise. All women of confidence and beauty. Also, Loren needed to follow the LL family tradition: Linda Louise, Leanne Louise and Loren.
