Birthday Celebration

This past weekend, Diane, Sandra, Nereida, Michele, and I went to celebrate Aunt LaDon's birthday.  She is a spry 49 years old as she says!  We decided to spoil her.

I made dinner Friday night when I got there.  She had all the ingredients and told me how she wanted it cooked.  We had sauteed shrimp over white sauced spaghetti.  It was delicious.  (Forgot to take a picture of that...oops.)

Sandra made us a nice breakfast on Saturday.



I shared my "cozy collar" to relax her shoulders.  You heat it up in the microwave.  It gives off a relaxing scent and it is just the right temperature to relax those tense muscles.



We asked her, "What would you like to do this weekend?"  Play games and enjoy our company was her top priority.  We tried to convince her to go shopping, but she declined.  Little did she know her birthday present was a gift card to her favorite store!!!

We played Skippo.



We played Sequence.  I liked this board.  It's 2-3 times the size of a regular board.  It made it a whole lot easier to see the card choices!

Michele and Nereida made the birthday dinner Saturday night. The table was set with a Spring theme.





We had chicken bake, green beans, roasted potatoes, and a salad.



She can wait to sink her teeth into the delicious meal.



Nereida put trick candles in her cake.  The flames were like mini sparklers.  It was so funny to see them reignite after they were blown out.



Good thing you have good lungs Aunt LaDon!  You were such a good sport!



Aunt LaDon's friend, Kathy,  had made us each a scarf with yarn we had gotten Aunt LaDon for a Christmas gift.  It was the gift that kept giving.  Anyway, we had fun sporting the different ways we could wear it.





Seriously though, the scarves are beautiful and will get used on our cold weather days.  Thank you Kathy.  You did a fabulous job.



Sunday morning, we went to Service.  Aunt LaDon is a member not only in the choir, but also the bell choir.  We had seats right up front.





They did a fabulous job playing How Great Thou Art.  Enjoy!

Surprise!  The choir sang Happy Birthday after the service.

One last picture of the clan before heading off to the Country Club.

Aunt LaDon, you are loved!  Hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend as much as we did.  Thanks for treating us to brunch at the Club.  It was delicious!   May God continue to bless you.

Love You!!!!
