Family is all we need

After the funeral last Tuesday, we went over to the PALACE restaurant.

Not too bad. Their soup was great though. And now I can't remember the name of the soup either!

Now to name the faces of these photos! (all names will be from left to right)

Mya, Owen, Justin, and Jess (nieces and nephews of Kevin)

Kevin, Uncle Ron (from Kev's mom side) and Justin (who is trying to give Ron bunny ears... hehe)
Justin and Owen (saying good-bye)

Mya and Justin (good-bye hug)

Jess and Kevin (about to give her a wet willy... don't worry... I warned her!)

Kevin and Sofia

(Don't we look ravishing... haha... yeah right. I barely had time to do my hair! ... and right after I saw this I was thinking "man... i REALLY need to exercise! I'm beginning to have a double chin!")

Greg (Kevin's brother), Justin, Kathy (Kevin's sister-in-law), and Jess

Grammy Doris (Louise's mom), Gary, and Louise

The Boys: Dave, Greg and Kevin

(can they get any more handsome???... plus I like the fact that only Greg has his eyes open... heehee)

Dave (Kev's oldest bro), Owen, Mya, and Donna (Kevin's other sister-in-law)

We took advantage of the fact that all of us looked somewhat decent to do "picture time" ...

And we did so before all the kids got all their clothes undone.

It was a sad event to be able to get together like this with the whole family ... but I loved seeing everybody there.

We miss you Pop.

fun times

For such a sad occasion Kev had to buy a black tie ... and he got to get a bright red one too... (it was buy one get the 2nd 1/2 off!)
And i got this really cute pic of Kev and his nephew Justin.
Kev was teaching Justin how to tie a tie because Kev is the best in all his family... to tie a tie.
Since he's the only one who has to wear one to work.

Aren't they adorable and handsome at the same time?!?!
Justin has such a close resemblance to Kev it is uncanny! And all his nieces and nephews A.D.O.R.E. him!
He's the cool and young uncle for all of them.

The one in the grey sweatshirt is Kev's middle bro Greg.
He's the "joker" of the fam... you have to meet him (or know someone like him to understand what I mean).
And the one in the brown (right next to Kev) is his niece Jess.
She just turned 12!
(we'll get to her then!)

And these two lovely ladies are: Kev's mom and Kathy, Kev's sister-in-law (Greg's awesome wife).
I had a pic of Kev's dad but accidentally deleted it.

So that's what happened before Tues (before the funeral).

I will not go into too much info of the funeral because I don't want to recall all the sadness.
Just know that it was a wonderful service all around.
