uncle chato

by far, my favorite uncle

before saturday morning, i wasn't all that jazzed about the 60th birthday bash that was going on. i figured it was going to be mostly his friends and close family, like lives-in-town-or-near-family. i had NO idea that great aunts and uncles and cousins were coming!
these are, by far, my favorite people that i never see. they came from bay city, port lavaca, nederland, and victoria. not like that's SOOOO far away, but it's far enough that we don't see them enough. it was great to see everyone and catch up and i'm glad they all got to meet handyman. after all, he'll be a part of the family soon and i figured i'd ease him in a bit.
