My Birthday

Wow! When two people get married, they have no idea of how much their family will grow.  I had a great birthday on Saturday.  All the kids, grandkids and great grandkids were there.  My brother and sister were also there.  Much extended family attended also.  My daughter-in-law's sister decorated and brought the most beautiful birthday cake.  A wonderful time was all.  my best friend and her 89 year old Mom stopped in too.  Many many pictures were taken. A great time was had by all.

Mexican Soup

We went to a birthday party and they had snacks, punch and great  lemon cake.  Then for supper we had Mexican soup.  It was really good.  We put shredded cheese on top.  Then we added dollops of sour cream.  On top of that we put chopped green onions. And to finish it off, crumbled tortilla chips on top.  It was delicious.  I had two bowls full and really enjoyed it.  Had great muffins along with it.  It was all a lot of fun. 

Birthday Party

I was invited next door to their son's 16th birthday. I remember mine so well. I got my driver's license as soon as I turned 16 and have been driving ever since without receiving a ticket. He was quite excited to get cards with money for gas for the car he got when he turned 16. He gives his sisters a ride to school now and often back home too. I know they are happy not to have to ride the bus anymore. They are all growing up so fast. It was fun to go over and have good food and visit with old friends I hadn't seen in a while. I think that is the last birthday party now for this year.

Step Throat

Saturday was to be one of our little great grandson's second birthday. However, he got sick and they found he had strep throat. Of course, the party had to be called off. That was sad for him and everyone. He is getting better and hope his brother doesn't get it also. This is the season when it sees like everyone is getting colds and more.
