To join together and celebrate.......


This past weekend was one to hold close to our hearts.....


The garden was at its prettiest.....


The food was prepared and enjoyed.....


The desserts were as pretty as they were yummy.....


Friends gathered to enjoy the day and each other.....



The boys provided lots of GUY help.....


Neighbors from the past came to join the celebration.....


Family came from near ( Orange County ) and far ( the Netherlands )....


The knitting girls came to add their smiles to a special day....


Little ones came to join the fun....


....and to put on pretty dresses and happy smiles.


Mom's to be practiced Mommy skills on bitty guests......

....and sweet girls shared the latest news about their growing families.


All of us with September birthdays gathered for a special photo.....


....but the day was ALL about Oma and her 88th birthday!!!!!


She got lots of presents, but I know the best part of her day was celebrating with all her family and having her greatgrandchildren there to make her joy complete.


I know we all enjoyed a very special day to honor a very special lady!!!! From the oldest to the youngest....it was a day we will never forget!!!!

What a wonderful celebration, Anne.
You really had quite a group. Making memories for all I'm sure.
What a special day for your Mom.
The food looked so good. Loved your quilt covered tables.
Claire is sweeter than ever with her little chubby kissable cheeks.
