My Party

I want to thank all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday! Your sweet comments meant so much to me!

I walked into the restaurant where the celebration dinner was being held and was greeted by this LARGE 60 decorated with pictures of my life.
 Go ahead click on it and get some laughs. You know..big hair, short hair,etc. lol

It was Ceekay's idea and she did much of the planning and came up with the theme. My sweet daughter Sarah did the foot work till her sister Andrea and Ceekay got into town to help with final touches and decorating They did a great job and I love and appreciate them so much! Sarah did all the beautiful floral arrangements on the tables!

 Ceekay came up with the idea to get a 1951 birthday booklet from Cracker Barrel and use the pages out of it for the placemats. The girls got candy and toys out of that time period for favors and to lay on the table for decorations. It all was so nicely done! See my high school picture in the circle of the 60. The invitations had the same pic on them.

I can't thank my hubby enough for making it a very special evening and for footing the bill! lol

Some of the girls in my family. (from L to R)
Myself, Ceekay, my daughter Sarah, my daughter Andrea (who came from CA), my niece Aimee, my sister Barb, & my niece Jeni who all flew in from MI.

I went to the airport three times to get them all. They all came on different days and at different times. lol My poor nieces were so delayed in Detroit for about 5 hours and got in at 2 a.m.

It was sooo worth it! We had a blast and made very special memories! We laughed so hard we cried! My hubby got embarrassed at one restaurant! lol Of course, he was way out numbered these last 3 wks.

My sweet girls singing at the party. (They both have sung professionally.) God has given them beautiful voices. They have sung accross the country and in Korea while in college. They both have sung in community chorales with their symphonies.
Some of my guests requested that they sing. They didn't plan it but we all enjoyed it and appreciated them doing it!

All my beautiful guests!

I had two incredible birthday cakes!

A chocolate mocha with coconut and chocolate icing on top. YUM!

Also a pink lemonade! A little something for everyone! lol They were so moist! ( We have an amazing bakery in the area that is very popular!)

Spending a little one on one with Andrea. I miss her and wish she wasn't so far away. She and her Pastor husband are planting a church in CA. Her hubby and my two sweet grandgirls couldn't make the trip.

Sweet Sarah and her hubby.

My sweet sister and nieces.

Ceekay all the way from AZ. She stayed for another week after the others left and she flew out this morning! We had a great time!

I received some beautiful presents but none as precious as my family that came to celebrate with me.!

I've missed all of you and hope to get around to visit you in the next couple of days. I have lots more pics of things we did to share with you and a little project that got done just in the nick of time to accommodate all the company!  Here's a sneak preview!

See ya soon!
