A Big Bash!

Boy, did I have a party! You betcha, I did. I used a fiesta theme and had Mexican food and decorations. I even made paper flowers and borrowed cacti from Myrna to help make things a little more southwestern. Matt and Mandy even came with sombreros. Ole!

After dinner we looked at old photo albums, then played Spoons--it was a fun game for all ages. Then came the cake. Did you know that 60 candles will set off a smoke alarm?? Just like the greeting cards, huh? That might have been the highlight of the party.

Nancy took some great pictures for posterity (and the blog).

So I turned 60 with a lot of fanfare--I'd recommend it for anyone.

Carol

The birthday girl

In the words of Emma and Morgan, it was "The best party ever!" There were games. There was cake. There were candles. Lots of candles...

Five pairs of hands are faster than one.


Shiny!


Carol, can you do this?


Whoosh! 60 candles are no match for Carol.


Happy Birthday, Carol!
