A Century Birthday!

100 Years Old!

If you combine our birthdays, that is. A celebration like this doesn't come along very often. 

Dad and I have been celebrating our joint birthday for 34 (yikes) years now, and this year it was special to be together for it once again, like the old days. Or wait, are the old days now? We are 100 years old, after all. Anyway, this year - February 8th - we went out together just the two of us for Birthday Breakfast. We ate at Foster's Market, and while they have lots of yummy menu options, we couldn't resist the humongous scones and coffeecake. Sugar high. Wow.



In the evening we had Birthday Dinner (birthdays tend to be centered around food...) with all of the family in town! Eight adults and 4 grandkids/cousins.

Gemma is really coming into her 'own' with outfit selections these days. Here is what she chose for the occasion. Impressive.

Oh my heart! Gorgeous 13 month old Adah Joy!

We weren't able to fit 100 candles on Jim's homemade vanilla cake - but Dad still wowed us by blowing all of the candles out in one quick blow. And yes, that is a glowing necklace I am wearing. What a birthday party, indeed.
