Another major birthday for Aunt Mary. My little sister has turned 60. Dang! She looks really good for her age. I wish I were up to having some of her young pictures here to compare. But just so you know, she has only gotten better.
Kristie, Andrea, Joe, Ben and Uncle Animal surprised her with a party with her grandchildren and a few friends and siblings. Jimmy Dean and Elvis were also in attendance. The little girls provided the entertainment with one of their favorite dances that they have been practicing for a long time.
This is Bubba (Ethan) dressed in his jeans and t-shirt with a pack of gum rolled up in the sleeve. Love the hair.

Joe, Mary, Kris and Lil' JoeWe enjoyed the best hamburgers in town along with fries and root beer. Shakes to follow. We had a wonderful time going down memory lane. I gave Mary Aunt Norie's green cookie jar. The 3 of us remembered that there were never any good cookies in it because Aunt Norie didn't bake but we looked into that noisy jar every time we went over, just in case. Thanks kids for having us over to enjoy our memories. I had some cuter pictures that Andrea sent to me but was unable to figure out how to get them into iphoto.

And a great big THANK YOU to all. It was the best birthday ever, made even better by being surrounded around those I love more than anything in the world--family. Grandkids are fighting over who gets to wear the shark slippers when they come over, I have a picture of two grown boys with "Ma" tattooed on their arms on my fridge, and a cookie jar with a load of memories on my counter. Does it get much better than that???? Thanks to you all for a very, very fun party. I was so surprised.
Love,
Mary
