Steph and Lisa and Phoenix drove up to Seattle to attend the wedding of Phoenix's aunt Anna Maria and uncle Dimitri. We saw many friends and relatives, including several of Lisa's aunts and uncles and cousins. Unfortunately, Lisa didn't get the camera out early enough to take photos of everyone. But, we got a couple of good photos of Phoenix and his great-uncle Paul (his grandpa's brother) and his wife, Phoenix's great-aunt Mary!
And, Phoenix got reacquainted with his uncle Per (in the teal blue t shirt) and met his aunt Gabrielle for the first time.
We also got to celebrate Lisa's 40th birthday while we were up there. We were awakened with cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate in bed, with a birthday song, candle, and flower, and cards and gifts. And, Phoenix's Mormor and Morfar (grandma and grandpa) paid for a wonderful dinner and movie in downtown Seattle, for Steph and Lisa while they babysat Phoenix for the evening. Fun!
Steph got to experience the wading pool at Green Lake with Phoenix (pictures coming soon - they were taken with the cell phone!).
And, of course, we enjoyed Dimitri and Anna Maria's Orthodox wedding. The priests "chant" the wedding ceremony and Phoenix decided to join in, from his front row seat! I think he thought they were talking to him!
