Whitney's Party

We celebrated Whitney's 24th birthday on Sabbath after church.  It was a lovely time.  I had made some tortellini with alfredo sauce, Tim grilled some chicken breasts, we had fresh fruit and veggies, and of course this wonderful cake.  It was so good!

Whitney thought she was getting a shotgun for her birthday but the box was too light.

The little ones did a good job of keeping quiet about what it was.  Hmmm...what is a Benelli?

There's nothing much in here.  "Oh...it's a hand gun!  A hand gun!!!!"  Maybe we should have got her a hand gun.

"Is is a 12 gauge shotgun?"  It sure was fun to see her reactions.

Then Tim brought out the gun in its case.  She loved the case almost as much as the gun.

Ah...a 20 gauge...so nice, sleek, and light...we'll see how many skunks she can kill now. . . maybe even those fox that have been eating chickens and kitties.

But that wasn't all she got.  When I was in town on Thursday I went into Maurices to get her some new jeans.  They had a really good sale, 75 % off the clearance price.  I found her 14 new tops, 7 pair of pants, and two pair of sandals at garage sale prices!

It was a lot of fun to see her try on all those new clothes.  And everything fit her!!!!

Now my pictures got mixed up as they wouldn't move to where I wanted them.  Here is another picture of her cake.

And another new outfit.

We love birthdays around here.

Blow 'em out, Whitney.

Some got tired . . .

. . . and took a nap.

What a blessing to have children!  Then it is a double blessing when they are grown and live close by.  How wonderful for a mother to have her children come home on their birthday.

We ended the evening with some fireworks.  It was a great celebration.
