Josh has one sister, Tiffany, and she is the oldest sibling in his family. Tiffany has 8 children of her own: 4 boys and 4 girls. On the first Saturday in June, we went to Pocatello to visit Tiffany's family as they celebrated their oldest daughter Coral's graduation from high school, and their youngest daughter Emerald's baptism.
Coral was born right before Josh graduated from high school, and she is his oldest niece. She's the first one of any of mine or Josh's nieces or nephews to graduate from high school. It's hard to believe that she's already 18 and a high school graduate!
Emmy's baptism was nice, and we were glad that we were able to attend her special day!
There was a family party for both girls following the baptism at a church gym near Tiffany's house. Her girls had decorated the gym so cute--with tablecloths and balloons, and had set up the tables in a U-shape to accommodate feeding family and friends. Their family made and served a nice lunch of baked potatoes, roast beef, rolls, and salads, and we had a great time visiting with family and watching the kids run around and play together.

It was one of my favorite family parties hosted by the Entrikins (or as Kanyon says it: the "extra-kin" family). It was a happy occasion for both girls, and a very well organized party in their honor. We were glad to be a part of it!
