Almost all the
kids, spouses, and grandkids were present for a triple birthday party at our house
this weekend. We greatly missed the
Californians who couldn’t make the trip.
The weather was perfect
for filling the pool and water balloons.
Even after he
was dried off and dressed
JD was ready to bring out the big guns for the big
guys.
We had our own
version of Olympic volleyball and badminton.
Going for the
gold. No holding back here.
There were also skits.
Some skilled clapping games.
And what's a party without dancing.
The complete
lack of breezes made it possible to
light the candles outside—first for the ten-year-old.
Then a pink cake
and singing for the eleven-year-old.
The big numbers
were brought out for Grandpa.
Then we cut the
cake…
…and brought out
the hand-cranked homemade ice cream.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE! How really special to have three birthday's around the same time!

Happy Birthday to all and thanks for sharing such a happy day. The cake and ice cream are mighty fine, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! A three-for-one special! The very first photo made me laugh! He means business! My dad used to make homemade ice cream. I haven't had any in years.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing in the world better than a pink and a chocolate birthday cake, unless of course, there might be the promise of hand cranked home made ice cream!!!! This post is killing me. Now the squash for dinner does not even look edible. I only want cake.
