On Friday my mother in law was 85. So to honor this we threw a surprise party on Saturday. The weather was kind and a good time was had by all. Here are a few pictures

Thanks for letting us hang out at the party! Happy Birthday to the Martiarch. What a great family gathering. Laurie is adorable.My favorite...the boys playing with the John Deare in the garden.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have such a big family close enough to get together. We live quite far from all our relations except our kids who are in school about 2 1/2 hours away. This looks like a lovely time. Happy birthday to your mother-in-law. Love that big window!
ReplyDeleteI would NEVER guess she's 85! My grandmother is 82, and takes great pride in not looking that old. :)
