Her first BIG Family event

Her first BIG family event...

Tamara has attended many parties since she arrived home.

Numerous Birthday parties for children and adults. Large family dinners, the holidays and of course her Birthday party.

This was her first BIG party.

One of my little cousins got engaged and the family gathered in full force to help Christina and Chris celebrate their love.

Congratulations!

Tamara and Daddy dancing.

Never too early to start practicing for her wedding. lol

Traditional Croatian dancing. Things can get a little crazy out there. It was a bit of a challenge keeping Tamara and Katie safe.

Auntie Olga takes matters into her own hands and takes the girls for a spin.

Round and round they go... when they'll stop no one knows.

Good work out Olga? ;o)

Tamara is so wound up.. Daddy tries to dance with her.

Katie cuts in... again. lol

A challenge keeping the girls on the side lines.

They both wanted to be where the action was.

A nice way to round off the evening.

This post is truly challenging Blog Spots limitations. ;o)

I wanted to post all the videos for family who had asked if I would. And give the rest of you an opportunity to experience a Croatian American party. Complete with crazy relatives, music and dance. Sorry no food pictures as it disappeared too quickly. ;o)

Enjoy!
