So we pushed back our President’s day celebration so that Karl’s mom and dad could come with us. We usually only celebrate Abe’s birthday (it is his 204th this year) but since we celebrated on President’s day we decided to include all presidents this time. 

Back to Sensuous Sandwich!

We were the first to arrive, and of all the years we have done this, only one of our pictures has survived: 2010, probably our largest group.

The costumes were not over the top, but they were thought out.
Nick was LBJ, since I guess he was an outdoorsman. 

Betsy was Taft. Apparently he was quite…portly. He liked to take baths, but because he was so large, there was not a tub big enough to fit him. So he had one custom made to fit him. Our tax dollars hard at work.

Karl hair sprayed his mustache into a Teddy Roosevelt style.

Mirah. Being cute.

Rachel was Abe and Jon was Fox. Yes Fox the president of Mexico.

We ordered our sandwiches and got the kids all settled.

Mirah, showing scale.

As we sat down to get started, we were deciding that we had made a mistake.

Oh boy.

My Mistake. I ordered the Spicy Enticer. That is salami, pastarami, and peperoni with all the veggies. Never ear fatty spicy meats. It is way too much.

Karl’s mistake: Cream Cheese.

He basically at an entire block.

Nick and Betsy, feeling confident.

Karl’s dad finished first. With time and room to spare.

He was very sweet and gave Mirah his shirt.

Nick was next.

Did it with out breaking a sweat.

Then Betsy.

She felt so great she did a victory lap!

Then there were two.
I had pretty much given up at 12 inches.
Karl couldn’t loose face infront of his family.

Karl grabbed Betsy’s au jux.
Here begins the new Hite family inside joke:
“it’s all in the au jux.”

He looked at me, and said, “I just have to get it all in my mouth.”


And he did.

His fourth time.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Karl’s mom was struggling to keep Asher and Judah under control.
This was the day they discovered candy machines.

The gang who did it.

The gang that was there.

Our family!

Oh, have I mentioned that Mirah LOVES her aunt Betsy?

We headed back to Nitsy’s place. We said farewell to Jim and Lynnelle, then had FHE together.

Mirah’s gums. Still not teeth on top.

Judah.

Asher and Mirah were being HILARIOUS crawling around under the table together.







Mirah found a snack.

Asher.

The kids were being so cute this weekend. They are really starting to play well together. The boys will get on the floor and crawl around with Mirah. They love to set stuff in front of her to play with and share their toys with her. She is getting antsy to walk as she watches them run circles around her.

We headed home after FHE still feeling sick with fullness.
