Mom D's 75th Birthday

February 2012

Mom D turned 75 this year! So her children and grandchildren put together a lovely gathering in celebration. Laura & Debi found the perfect room at JJ Sullivans. It was big enough for all 15 of us to be comfortable, without excess space that would make us feel lost.

Here is the guest of honor:

This picture gives a nice view of the room:

A very pretty cake for the occasion:

Round birthday cake with white frosting, scrollwork sides, and colorful number candles for 75

And here Mom cuts the cake:

And a group shot - you can see this was after dessert:

Paul also got pictures of all the couples (& Fallyn took a pic of us); these are in the order we were sitting around the table:
