Mother’s 90th Birthday Party

My Favorite Pictures ~ Part I

 Sunday

 

 

The Napkins

 

One of the Cakes

 

Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, and his family were in charge of keeping the food tables supplied.

 

Mother’s first visitor.

We had the visitors staggered throughout the day.  It was one of the best decisions we made when planning the celebration.  It spaced everyone so nicely.

1:00 – 3:00 PM – Her church and retirement community friends

3:00 PM – 5:00 PM – Her siblings, Daddy’s siblings, and friends

5:00 PM – 7:00 PM – Supper with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a few special friends

 

 

 Guest Registration

 

 The card and registration table.

 

 This friend was embarassed that she chose the same dress as the guest of honor.  Mother didn’t mind.

 

 I like this picture of Cewin’s Mother and her brother John

 

 Mother usually stayed sitting, but there were a few friends who needed hugs.

 

Our cousin Wesley and his wife show Cerwin a family picture they put on their memory card.

 

 One of my best friends, Joanne, brought her mother.

 

The Flowers

 

 Our sister-in-law Pat and her daughter Crystal.

 

 Mother said she shook so many hands that her right hand was sore the next day!
