snippets of fun

It looks like it was a funny story! Michele didn't see the humor in it!

I take it back. You don't look older than me.

This is why none of us were cheerleaders!

Ro, it's OHIO, not YMCA (or Michigan)

there we go! That's our team!

Some of my favorite party elements

using 2 different centerpieces and sizes of tables

up close and personal with a lemon topiary...

hydrangeas from my yard with yellow roses...the birthday girl"s favorite!

a beautiful toasting station is a must

and a small army of my favorite people to share it with!

The blunder

"Is Susan coming?" he asks.

My words were: "Susan who?". The look on my face said: "Excuse me...we're trying to keep a secret here! Get in the game!" He caught on...see the look on his face! Way to almost give it away in the first 5 minutes! Silly boy. I wanted to slap you.

Posed pics from the 75th birthday dinner

first her boys!

then her girls...

...then the in-laws

now the grandsons

and the granddaughters


and the husband! I think that's all of us! Let the fun begin!

Poppy throws a party!

The invitation:

Part of the planning committee!

This is probably one of the best shots of Sara's whole family. Everyone is smiling and looking at the camera for once...too bad Grammy and GW snuck in at the last minute! It could have been a Christmas card!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Big Day! Let's celebrate!

any takers?

I've had this hanging on my front door for 2 weeks now. I need to return it...damn thing doesn't work.

Oh, if only it were this easy!
