4/7 of the gang that gathered at the ermanis household today. from left to right: jayden and zachary belong to adrienne and marty, the stinky one in the middle belongs to us, and autumn (showing off her "jazz hands") belongs to amanda and adam. not pictured: oliver (being held by adrienne), ryder (chewing on a trash can) and avery (in a high chair).
