60.5

We had a 'little bit' of fun over the weekend... Dad threw Mom a surprise 60 (and a half) birthday party on Saturday! Mom was very surprised to say the least, and touched as well.  Next to Mike & Jill's wedding, and Nathan & Heidi's pre-wedding party, the lake has never seen SO. MUCH. FUN!

We didn't want to scare mom with a big SURPRISE, so all 18 of us greeted her in our pajamas and party hats Saturday morning.

The kids beautifully decorated the path out to the party with chalkboard signs.

We used Mom's own bike to welcome guests.

Grandpa, Heidi, Kenzie, Piper & Brooklyn (and Kyle's long arms) hanging a birthday sign and flowers from the trees.

 

The muscley ice men.

Piper & Nolan helping to fill the wagon with juice boxes.

Little down time with cousins before the party gets started.

Nice, Nathan!

Mom's very first surprise guest, her sister :)

Followed by lots and lots of special surprise guests!

Jazz band playing lakeside, ahhhhh.

While the kids swam, and swam, and swam!

It was such a blessed afternoon filled with all kinds of special people.  All who love Mom.  Happy 60.5, Mom!
