Mom's 80th Birthday - Family Reunion 2007

Happy Birthday Mom! This picture, to the left, is a caricature of my mom during her college days. My mom takes particular pride in displaying this picture. It was actually designed to be less than flattering and in some ways to belittle her. Her accomplishments over a life time, however, have been extraordinary, certainly surpassing those who treated her as a hick or country girl. So this was the theme of the party.
We can see little David is front and center for the immediate family shot, must be that bald head of his. The rest of us look pretty darn good too.

On the left, you can see he was dressed for the occassion with a white shirt, gray slacks, a black vest, and a gray tie. The little guy looked good.

Below is a picture of the party, with my mom's red dress - check out the slit on the left leg side. Pretty sexy mom.

The Day After the Party

Eden, Bethami's little girl, had a ball with little David. They played and laughed a good part of the morning. It was contagious - we all started laughing. Click on the photo below, Eden kissing little David, to activate the laugh fest (video).

Sarah and her friend Maddie also had a great time with the little guy. They brought him into the fort they build on Bubbie's deck (with extra sheets and lawn furniture). It was their hide-away (and little David loved being in their with them). Talk about chatter. As you can see, a fun time was had by all. What a nice family reunion. Happy Birthday Mom! I am glad you had a good time too.
