I got a Wonder Woman backpack- with a lasso!! It was even on sale!
We all wore Star War t-shirts!
And I got a cup that says NIBLINGS on it!

Auntie Day 2016
I got a little behind on these, I'm don't remember what we did in 2016. I know we went to noodles (I love noodles!). I'm wearing a Star Wars t-shirt, so maybe we went to see Rogue One? Anyway, here are the few pictures that I have!
And they baked me something, but it's been so long that I don't remember what it was... :/

Auntie Day 2015
I took some pictures on my own this year, so this Auntie Day post won't be late!
This year's theme was CHEESE!! It was also Gary's first Auntie Day with us! It was one of our more mellow celebrations, but that was fine for all of us.
We started off watching an episode of the TV show Chopped because all of the courses had cheese in them! What's really cool is that one of the contestants is from Portland, Atalua, and we're going to his restaurant in a few days! They also got me a giant container of cheese puffs to eat while watching it. They were all mine!! Okay, I did share; I just can't say no to those kids!
The big event for the evening was going to a local fondue restaurant, Urban Fondue.
We skipped the meat course to focus on melted cheese and melted chocolate. So yummy! I was happy that they offered sausage to dip in the cheese so we really had the best of both worlds! In pairs, we got to pick the type of cheese we wanted, and extra sides, as well as the type of chocolate we wanted. We tasted everyone's, and I think that Gary and I chose the best cheese (brie and gorgonzola) and chocolate (dark chocolate with no additions)! Gary hadn't had fondue since it was hip in the '70s, so that was fun!
Another great Auntie Day! I'm happy that my family invented this day for me, and we keep celebrating it! We're trying to convince Gary's daughters to start their own Auntie Day, but they might choose the commercially-set date in the summer. That works better for them.

Auntie Day 2014
Since we just finished Auntie Day 2015, I figured that I should post about Auntie Day 2014. Even though I only have pictures from my Mom's disposable camera*.
That year's theme was the hobbies of the kids. We started with Adam, and he drummed for us. He's so good!
Drew is really interested in sports, so we played a very short game of basketball for his hobby. Us adults are getting old! But we're still competitive and aggressive.
Kylie's hobby was photography, so there were a bunch of props out and we did a photoshoot!
From the photoshoot, I kept the tiara when we went to dinner. :) We went to a German place that had a fancy cheesy fondue appetizer. I love to tell the waitstaff why we're celebrating! This time, they thought that it was my birthday, but I let her know the real reason!

Auntie Day 2013
My sister got behind on copying pictures for the family, so that's my excuse for this being over a year late.
For the 2013, the theme for Auntie Day was science fiction in general. We went to a science fiction book store,
and I got to choose about 5 books that I wanted!!
We also did science fiction charades:
We weren't going to have a themed-restaurant, then found one!!! So fun!
Can you tell who my favorite doctor is? ;)

Fish sticks and custard!

Auntie Day 2012 (late)
Sorry for the late Auntie Day blog! I didn't have time during the semesters, and couldn't think of stuff to write. So here are the pictures! I need to get something up before tomorrow, which is Auntie Day 2013!
We didn't have a theme when we started out our day, but it became Keep Portland Weird!

Voodoo Donuts!!!
I had wanted to to check out the Portland landmark of Voodoo Donuts, and the family was happy to oblige! I liked the cocoa puffs donut best.
