70th Birthday Party

So happy for this day to finally arrive so we can celebrate.  Such a different attitude than earlier birthdays.  Too many friends have died recently, five in the last two months, Bob Jarvill, Gary McMillen, Denny Hampton, Fred Tiley, and Julie Saltness. We needed a reason to be happy and just waking up each day is good enough for me! !  Meeting at something other than a memorial service is so great right now ! ! This party was perfect !

Our kids and grandkids really stepped up to help with this dinner party. Gary and his gal Phaedra and her boys, our grandsons, Seth and Sebastian took care of the entire dinner.  No easy feat planning for 100 dinners. Alyssa helped serving too and Kenny helped in quite a few ways including greeting people.  My brother Joe and Corey greeted everyone coming in the front door.  So many comments about how Corey had grown up..  People forgot that he is almost 47 ! LOL. Karen and Kristina did an amazing job arranging all the flowers and taking care to make all the tables perfect ! ! Chris spent the evening spinning all the 60-70's albums that we brought. I loved it all, especially having family and friends close.  Here are some pictures !!

What a great night this was ! !   70 is great ! !
