Mom's Birthday Bash

Jeff's folks from Clover came up for the day! Nancy and Olivia have a special Easter basket for Caleb to unpack!
It contains an apple, bunny ears, and other goodies!
Pete's cradling Adam while Nancy looks on...

The birthday girl arrives!
We sing Happy Birthday - while Mom and Dad hold Caleb and Adam! Then she blows out the candle!
Joan and I pose with Mom and Dad and her roses...
The fun begins... many friends joined us for the occasion! Eveline Robinson, Jean Ledford, Ann and Jesse Ross are pictured here.
Mom, Ann, Evelyn, Jean and Freda Haze sit and chat at a table...
Claudette, Bennett, Emily and Eric in the background as Mom opens cards!
In the livingroom Claudette, Emily, Joan (and Adam) and Rick relax and munch on carrot and coconut cakes, cheese spread and crackers, nuts, and punch and coffee.
Jim and Larry enjoy the sunny side...
Amanda relaxes on the sofa...
Later, Dad grabs the glider to rock Adam a while.
Mom gives a farewell hug to Claudette and Jim...
Long-time friends Eveline Robinson, Leesa Gibbs and Eveline Patton join us too!
Leesa gets a chance to hold Adam too... he was passed around for 2 hours and never woke up!
Seeing that the carrot cake was all gone except for crumbs, Eric took it outside and finished off the good parts! Trent is keeping him in line looks like!
The last guest has gone and Jeff, Emily and Adam relax on the front porch.

It was a great afternoon with almost 30 friends dropping by! What fun!

I continue to thank all who help make my 80th the best. I missed Julie and family, but understand when someone is running a temperature. Thanks for all the gifts, (you were not supposed to do that) :-) love you all.
Delicious refreshments and just a nice party.

Love all and pray for you daily.
