Happy 13th Birthday to Our Granddaughter, Jenna
You’re our favorite Jenna in the whole world.
~~~
On the way to her birthday party, we stopped at Jere and Kristen’s house to give Jana her “token” birthday gift. (She received her real gift the other week when we got manicures.)
We always give them a small bag of goodies. This time it was some gummy bears and hot chocolate packs, plus a few leftover “red beet eggs” from yesterday’s lunch. (She loves pickled eggs.)
Then I went downstairs to see what the boys were up to. Jared wanted me to join him in his “tent.”

Jenna’s Birthday Party
Jenna and her dad (our oldest son) lighting thirteen candles.
Her other grandma was sick, so while Jenna and her mom drove to Lois’ house for her gift, Diana and I went next door where Jeff and Chris keep some sheep.
I was particulary interested in the lambs.

Meanwhile back at the house…
Nathan showed us the clock he made in shop class at school.
Good job! Can you tell he likes old Chevys?
Then – just because both boys were in the same room – a wrestling match developed.
Then – because he couldn’t resist – dad began testing Jordan’s strength.
As I watched them I had a sense of deja vu.
Jeff and Jere seemed to think they had to wrestle every night after supper when they were teenagers.

Okay, it’s time to settle down and watch Jenna open gifts.
Gloria and her dad
I loved her reaction to opening the card from Jere and Kristen’s family.
“If there isn’t a crisp hundred dollar bill in this birthday card may I be struck by lightening.”
When she opened the card there was the sound of thunder and lightening!
