HAPPY BIRTHDAY 85 GREAT YEARS

What a great day. Thanks to Connie and Dave for hosting a Great Birthday Party for Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma Saunders. Marie's Birthday is actually December 25th, but trying to have a party on Christmas Day just does not work. We had the oldest and the youngest. Below is Gentry, Craig & Mandy's 6 week old baby girl.
Even candles on the cake. Oh what fun.
And Woosh!!! There goes the candles. What a great job.
Connie had lots of help cutting the cake. Ella and Summer are real helpers for their mom.
We sure missed having Doug here to complete the family. It is great to get together and enjoy the friendship and love that we share as a family.
We sure love being with our wonderful mother.

As you can see Tam and Dan are still in love after all these years.
Cousins sure seem to have fun when they get together. Autumn and Jace really like to be together.
This was really a great day together. It seems like we just don't get to see each other often enough. We were able to watch a DVD and reflect on some happy memories over the years. What a highlight seeing Dad sing to Mom "WE'VE BEEN CHUMS FOR 60 YEARS". Our Mom and Dad set such a great example for their posterity. Our responsibility is to live up to the principles that they taught us.
Thanks for being the Greatest Mom ever. We love you.
