You were a good sport about seeing us tonight and it was so nice to see you on your birthday.

Here's hoping the year ahead is a great one.

You are so incredibly loved.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart, 

Love, Mom and Dad

 

happy birthday jay

It was a great party, a great way to spend Sunday afternoon.

We haven't been all together since Christmas, and everyone seemed happy to see each other and enjoy a meal.
 

Cake time!

Gifts!

Smile nice, Jule

Ahh, hahaha

Lava lamps went to James and Kenya's house.   

The comment was made, "They're awfully hot.'

Well.  I mean, lava.  That's to be expected.

But the cats are too curious and these need to go.

And you?

Another year older!

This keeps happening.

Lucky little old us.

Love forever, Val

happy birthday katie

 

It's almost that time again--your birthday leads right into the whole holiday season.

This year has been full of happy days. We got to spend a weekend together at the lake, which we don't do very often, and you have a new niece, which isn't something that happens all that often.

I hope today was a great day--you deserve it, and best wishes for the year ahead.

Happy birthday with so much love, Val and Jay 

happy birthday, you two

John and Dannell hosted this party, and it was a  warm, beautiful day to be together.

Gifts!

Cake!

These two birthday buddies know how to get it done.

And that brings us to the end.

Here's hoping 2024 is a splendid year for both of you, and everyone else too.

We could not love you more.

Happy Birthday!  Love, Val aka Grandma, and EVERYBODY
