Birthday Parties

Tomorrow I am invited to a triple birthday party.  The people next door have 3 daughters.  Their birthdays are quite close together.  They used to have individual parties for each.  It seemed like there was a party every other week.  To make it easier and less expensive, too, they grouped them together and are going to have one big party tomorrow.  It will be at the new swimming pool and park in town.  They have rented the pool for an hour and a half after closing time so that the family can all swim after a picnic supper.  It is supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow, although still in lower 80's.  Hope it doesn't rain.  We need the rain but would be nice if it could hold off until after the party.

Great Grandchildren

Grandchildren are great.  However, I think great grandchildren are even better yet.  You babysit grandchildren when they are small for your children, but when the great grandchildren come along, your children get that chance.  There are so many birthday parties, you get to enjoy cake and ice cream a lot.  Also great meals usually go along with the birthday parties.  I have 13 great grandchildren now and I am sure there will be lots more in the future whether I am here to see them or not. :0)

Birthday Parties

November and December are big months in our extended family for birthdays.  I have 13 great grandchildren and most of them have been born during those months.  Most of mine were born in November and December and one son in January.  He not only brightened our lives, but he brightened my family ring with a red stone among the blue and yellow ones.  We are going to a big party for two of the great grandsons this weekend.  That means lots of fun and food for all in attendance.
