A GREAT BIRTHDAY PARTY

Jessica got her hair cut a little shorter.

Haley was there with her hot pink strands.

Both, beautiful girls. So sorry I did not get pictures of the blue boys with blue hair (They had taken off their wigs) And all the Birthday Boys were somewhere where I wasn't. But we had a great time, thanks to Tatia for going the extra, extra mile, and to Dawney for her fabulous help. Her potes were delicious. And Don is always the greatest host. He had the men and boys gathering lots of wood out of the garage, he borrowed jolene's fire keeper. He made a wonderful fire right under the big trees - after scarfing down the food (and I do mean scarfing) we all sat around the lovely warm fire. Tatia surprised us with Crackers, a fun pinata, and silly string. Everybody loved using that. Except me, I quickly retired to the kitchen. It was so nice to see everybody. We missed those who could not make it.

Here is Kate and Matthew, they always seem happy. Matthew got a chance at the pinata.

On Sunday (the next day) Bumpa and I visited Tatia's ward because it was the Primary Childrens program. Allysa showed up with her very delightful friend "Teenie". Allysa wore black tights with her black knee brace and 4 inch black stilettos.(Sorry, I thought they'd be in this picture). Anyway, she looked adorable - she is adorable. Jenna and Sophia performed beautifully. Jenna gave a little talk and Sophia gave a scripture. They also sang every word or the songs.
