The Big Party

One of the reasons we came to New Jersey was to celebrate Grandma Dot's 90th birthday!  She really doesn't turn 90 until Sunday, but we celebrated a week early.

The weather is so nice here, so we enjoyed a great party outside at Aunt Peggy and Uncle Gorden's house.

They have a beautiful home with a HUGE backyard as well as a swimming pool, so the kids had a great time running around and swimming.  Matthew and Peter had the best time playing together.  Many of Grandma's friends came, and everyone enjoyed good food and fellowship.  It started raining toward the end, but the storm quickly passed over.

We were also celebrating Alyssa graduating from Gordon College and Emily graduating from Hawthorne High School.  The cakes were DELICIOUS - one had a strawberry cream center and the other had a chocolate cream center.  We had a great day celebrating Grandma Dot, Emily, and Alyssa!!  Congratulations on reaching some big milestones!!
