| Love these peeps!!! |
Most of my side of the family came to our house to celebrate with us. I had lots of help preparing some of the food. I am totally digging the idea of the kids each making their own food item for the meal. We had lots of fun together.
Ann made this adorable appetizer.
Tommy made punch.
Matthew made blueberry muffins.
Mary made carrot cake.
Because Billy was feeling a bit under the weather, he got out of making his famous deviled eggs. I got stuck with that job and almost lost my mind peeling 18 hard cooked eggs. Holy smokes! That is an annoying task! And, I'm pretty sure I tasted some shell in one of my finished eggs. Sorry, family.
My sister in law Kathy and nephew Jimmy coordinated an egg hunt. The kids had lots of fun...even the teenagers ;)

Mom-Mom spoke a few words of wisdom, mostly about the importance of the four F's.
Faith...Family...Friends....and Fun!
I'd like to add a 5th....Food!
Our Matthew was the youngest great-grandchild in attendance that day, so he got the special job of presenting Mom-Mom with her cake. Too cute!
Happy Birthday, Mom-Mom and thank you for starting this wonderful family I am proud to be a part of.
Thanks also to to Aunt April and Uncle Joe, our hosts! You guys rock!

Absolutely, we are still in the Easter season to blog away! :) Peeling hard-boiled eggs is definitely the worst. What's a little calcium, right?! Lovely 95th birthday celebration!!! Loved the Four-Fs wisdom!!! Hugs
