You only turn 60 once. So when you do, it is a reason to celebrate! And that's exactly what we did on Monday, August 20. Seth's mother turned 60 on the 20th so we had her party on the same day. We had an excellent turn out of family and friends! Michelle and I provided the evening meal for everyone. It consisted of sandwiches, chips, baked beans, four salads and drinks. Oh, and ice cream and cake.
A look at the gathering.
Michelle packed along Boomwhackers. A musical instrument--one for everyone. With just a couple practices of "Happy Birthday" and they were ready for their one and only performance. It really was quite cute!
One of the cakes. I did this one. Haha. No, really. I did do this cake, or at least the white frosting. Michelle brought the flowers and stuck them on before the party.
Grandma with her grandkids.
Everyone giving a hug.

The cakes that Michelle made.
Then I thought it would be neat to have a picture with all the guests.
