It's Toni's Birthday today ( photo / image / picture from Jerry Sullivan's Garden ) Cake and Ice Cream for everybody!!! Jerry
Thanks you all. It was a very good day. Got most of the veggie garden planted. We ordered pizza from Domino's and stayed in all evening. With 7 different work schedules to work around, we have 3 large get togethers a year that include birthdays, and other special days. Our next one is May 11 which combines, my birthday and Mother's Day for oldest daughter and me. And since May 11th would also have been my Mom's 83rd birthday, I warned the kids to not be surprised if she shows up just to check on us.
I hope your day was wonderful!!! I should take a leaf out of your book, and start combining our family celebrations. With 5 kids, 10 grandkids, and numerous seasonal events that the family comes together for every year, there isn't even one free month!! Sometimes not even a free weekend in a month!!
Our biggest bash is in August, for Fathers Day and 5 birthdays covering June, July and August. then we have until Dec to get ready for the last birthday for the year....our oldest grandson is a Dec baby. We each get phone calls on the actual event day. But our lives have become so much less hectic since we started the combined get togethers. The youngest grandson turns 20 in July so there are no little ones who feel left out without a cake and loads of gifts on their special day,. .
