Who's Coming to the Party (Photostory)

After the men leave, Camille and the girls take a little breather.  Nothing left to do but wait for the guests to arrive.

"So is Jacquelyn going to make it?"  (Grace)

"Yes, but she had some emergency to take care of first.  But she said she would definitely make it."  (Camille)

"Can I see your balloon?"  (Kourtney)

"No. It's mine. (Tinia)

"Well the guest of honor has just arrived."  (Grace)

"Hey guys.  We're here. "  (Kendra)

"Hi auntie.  The place looks beautiful."  (Kendra)

"Hello sugar.  I'm glad you like it. You look radiant."  (Camille)

"Thanks."  (Kendra) 

"Hey cuz."  (Kendra)

"Hey.  So what do you think?  Do you like it?"  (Grace)

"I love it."  (Kendra)

"Nikki, it's been so long since I've seen you and my nephew.  Where have you guys been hiding?"  (Camille)

"We're not hiding.  We're sorry we haven't stopped by lately.  We will make sure to rectify that soon."  (Nikki)

"Great.  I miss you guys."  (Camille)

Nikki finds a seat and Kendra finds her way to the food table.  She's feeling a little peckish.

"Oh auntie, this is some spread."  (Kendra)

"Well I included a few of your favorites."  (Camille) 

"Hello, hello.  I hear there's a party happening here today."  (Racquelle, jokingly)

"Hello come on in.  You are definitely in the right place."  (Camille)

"Oooh, baby."  (Tinia)

Racquelle and her mom come in, speak to everyone, then find a seat.  

Next up are India, the hairdresser, and Valerie, who also works at the hair salon.

Of course Vanessa is attending.  Little Alicia is there, too.  Are those pink converses she's wearing?    

Another set of twins will be joining the festivities.  Chandra and Tanisha rode in together.  Their mom and sister are in another car.

There they are.  Jackie and Robin and the other Courtney.  She's wearing an outfit from the Asian Shelley doll.  They spot the twins in the corner and join them.

"Mom, look at you, looking all springy.  What's up with that hat?"  (Tanisha)

"Girl, leave my hat alone."  (Jackie)

These two didn't come together.  They just happen to be walking in together.  There's Jordan (Jackie's sister-in-law) and Tina, the town psychiatrist.

Everyone has found a seat and they are chit chatting among themselves.

 

Kendra has made her way to the comfy rocking chair.  Looks like Camille is about to get things started. We will check in on them a little later.

And you guys thought the space was too big.  I thought it was a little small.  Any more guests, and they would have been seated in the  hall.   So I decided to keep both the girls named Courtney, but one is now spelled with a K.  The baby girl finally got a name.  It's Tinia, which is the name of one of my little cousins.

Next post will feature an overview of my new (not yet painted) Gloria desk.  Here's a peek at the fabulous copy machine that came with it.
