Surprise! I'm Still Back at 60th

I know this is so delinquent, and I apologize for blogging something that should have been blogged in August! It was such a special surprise birthday party and so many thanks have to be given to my family and friends for surprising me. Here I am walking into my back yard after Rob said he had been working on the back yard with some friends and wanted to show me what he had been doing....My friends and family yelled SURPRISE and then sang happy birthday to me...you can see the joy and tearsIt wasn't a garden or plants, but a beautiful, delightful birthday party with beautiful decorations and yummy food -- Loved the cake! Very vintage -- me :) The punch was yummy and I had friends asking me for the recipe...That's Jen's department not mine...
Kate took these beautiful pictures and I just loved this one of my hat cake and it tasted yummy, too!
A favorite of the grandkids and me -- a chocolate fountain with cake and fruit -- soooooo good!
Here's a pic of Bella having fun with her daddy and looking precious as always!
Some of my friends that came to celebrate my birthday with me. I'm so thankful for good friends and my family for making my 60th sooooo SPECIAL!!!!!
A picture of Denisa, my sweet sister-in-law that came down from Redding with her daughter, Marie.
A special presentation was when the grandkids gave me a beautiful framed picture of them spelling out the word "Grandma". I shall always cherish this gift --
and here's little Chase giving his Grandma a hug!Liked this picture 'cause I got to hug a grandchild plus you can see the pretty background of pillars and lovely flowers that my family worked so hard on to
create a lovely atmosphere for my party. I loved the decorations and since we only have one tree in our yard, they decorated the neighbor's redwood trees with little twinkly lights...Steve and Bella (who looks like she would like to get into something) and the twinkly lights...
A grateful mom, grandmother, wife and friend. Thanks to all of you for your part in making my 60th birthday so special. I feel blessed to know you and to be a part of your lives....
