Happy Birthday Delores

Delores,
my lovely mother in law celebrated her birthday yesterday.
Since the additions to our family, we have gone from two October birthdays to four. Delores thinks we need to take the 3 adult types
and have 1 big party.
Madison can still have her very own, and I wholeheartedly agree.
Back to the birthday.

Delores is the most energetic 77 year old I know.
She still gardens, plays bridge, cans, goes to church, shopping and to the movies, plays games, travels
and is basically up for whatever we have going on.
I hope to follow in her footsteps someday,
because she knows how to live.
Her cake of choice this year was coconut.
That's another thing in common..we are always up for anything coconut.
Happy Birthday Delores!!



Checking out the bootie

Cake was delicious (but anything with coconut is delicious)

Blowing out candles with a little help from a friend.

Happy Birthday Delores!! She is indeed an active lady, and I admire her too. She has always been so sweet to us.
Maryrose, I have been thinking of you and your family. I may have the wrong day, but I know I don't have the wrong week. Tom is missed!!

Sweet pictures! Looks like it was a fun birthday for Delores. I love that one of Riley helping blow out the candles.

Thinking of your family too this week... I know it is a hard time of year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Delores!! She is the same age as my mom and I know what you mean. I hope that I am as active as they are at that age. How wonderful for them!! It was nice to see you and Kristi yesterday. The cake is soo darling and I can't wait for everyone to see it. I think it would be fun some day to sit down with you all (you and Kristi and Kris and Genn) and chat and chat haha I feel like I know you all. Have a great time at Maddie's party. I am scurring around visiting a few blogs till everyone is awake here. Such a busy day coming up.
