Happy Birthday Party for Morgan

Call it a mini family reunion...It brought most of our family together for the first time in a long time... and best of all... Virginia nd Corey and Kendra, and Correna and Joe and Derrick and Barb and Jamie and Ethan were there , and so was myself with my two daughters and two grandaughters.. and by jiminy...Arlene came. Sad to say, we were just missing Eva, and Dave and Mackenzie.Not bad to get us three sisters together and five of the six niece and nephews. Now, on Morgan's side of the family, his brother Will and wife, Ellen came and the rest couldn't make it...but Morgan's friends made up for the lack of his sisters and brothers !
All in all everyone hugged and laughed and told stories and lies and kept each other amused through -out the evening! The dinner was great ( Derrick BBQ'd) and the salads were delicious and the deserts divine! Our group went home with full tummies, that is for sure! Certainly was fun to see everyone again...Now I wished I took more pics of the cousins...like in a group...too much going on to stay focused!


The kids all watch as the cake is readied!

Outside, Jamie is a chatterbox, going around to each person with the water bottle...too cute
That is her mom, Barb, above her, then Joyce, then Pat, a good family friend of Joyce and Morgans

Correna and Joe gave Morgan a beautiful piece of artwork depicting a roper lasooing a calf...all done with a method of scratching the surface to reveal the colour...and it was signed by the artist! Very special, indeed, with incredible detail...like every hair on the horse!

Back to the cake...Virginia sets out the big 6-5!

Lynn brought along her some of her garden successes for Joyce!


Sonia and Derrick laugh it up with Morgan , in between!

Maddie and Kaleigh saying cheese...before they ate it

Lynn, checking for mosquitoes maybe?...and Joyce taking five

The three sisters ... a rare site together! Nice , because we know those times are far and few between.

And then there was cake!
