A wonderful evening was planned and carried out. Elaine gave mom a tiara, Sharlene made a wrist coursage, and Elaine gave mom a birthday balloon. Elaine got the stuff for the fish pond and Linda & her family maned the fish pond....all of the children loved it. A picture booth maned by Maelynn Mackey Warren, provided pictures with Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you Maelynn you did a wonderful job. Before we started eating Maelynn took lots of pictures

I think that each child who wanted a balloon was given one? not sure....

First was eating.....Kendall did pit BBQ pork and brisket......Joe's eat your heart out.....hotdogs were cooked on the grill, side dishes of salad, fruit, chips, vegetables, beans, cookies, cupcakes, cake, and homemade ice cream. Thank you Gary, Adam, Rachelle, Josh, Ted, Tarik, & Vonesa for making the ice cream. Cotton candy was provided by Julie and Ryan. What a feast we had.

It took a while to fed the masses but all had a wonderful feast.

Kallee had buttons made of a picture of Grandma.....we all got to wear one. Thanks

Next a program was planned....the children were all having so much fun on the trampoline, fish pond, shaved ice booth, swing, slide, monkey bars that it was hard to move on to the next part.

Muriel had planned and written a few scenes (vinettes) depicting Grandma when she was young but we moved on to the dessert....and to the DVD. Julie and Kallee scaned, copied, put captions, labled and did a wonderful job editing the DVD.....if you did not get pictures into her please do so....ones with grandma and you.

The weather was windy....Elaine, Dustin, Coltin & Kendall spent all day decorating & setting up....the wind just blew and she was having fits trying to keep everything in its place. It was warm but not hot....and then as the Sun went down it cooled off quite nicely.
