Fun Filled Weekend

I had a great birthday. It went on and on. One of my cakes had candles with flames in different colors. They were so pretty, I waited a long time to blow them out and then I made my wish. So many on you asked how does fifty feel? For myself , I feel so blessed and happy, I am looking forward to this decade, life just gets better and better.

Saturday night's tolo was a success. Max and Cass looked so sweet and grownup. Max had a lot of fun, until 2:30 a.m.

Sunday was a big worship and party day. Caleb and Emilyn came home with us after church and then we went to Bill and Jodi's for a family Christmas party. They have a mancave, so guys like that.

We gathered some of the kids for a group shot. Too many kids to get them all in one spot for a group shot with everyone. It is pretty hard to get 'little max' to stay still for ten seconds...Courtney was ready to grab him back.

Our lovely hostess, Jodi with Charlie. Don't you love their Christmas sweaters?

These little sweeties found the sweets. So many desserts to choose from, so little time.

Last night our church hosted the Christmas Cantata with some of the members of the Whatcom Symphony. It is one of my favorite nights of the season. We had a light supper at our place afterwards for family and friends. No pictures, I was in the moment.
