Belated Birthday Bash!

Happy 84th Birthday, Junebug!!

June, you can't possibly be 84...maybe you have your birthdays mixed up and it's your 24th birthday?! :)

Geoff & June, Grandson & Grandmother

Pink is the *in* color...wouldn't you agree?

Lovely "Princess" crown!

Reading her birthday cards

Kristin & June, Granddaughter & Grandmother

Ginger, June, & Tommy...good, long-time friends

A birthday kiss

Thank you, Tommy & Ginger!  It's lovely!

Linda and June, Daughter & Mother

Reminiscing through a photo album with shots from when June was a baby! 

The lovely Ginger and "big, bad, little brother" Tommy...and yes, that's his nickname :)

A sweet trio

Daughter and Mother

Three Generations: Linda, June, & Kristin...too bad Hannah or Katie wasn't here, that would've made Four Generations!

Wow!  Maybe we should have turned the numbers around!

"Do I have to blow ALL of the candles out in ONE blow?"

"No, but the important thing is that you don't spit on the cake or blow your dentures into it!"

"Oh, boy...I've quite the job ahead of me."

"I think I'm up for the task, though."

"Confidence...yes, confidence is the key...and lots of smiles."

Well, here goes! (BTW...spit and teeth stayed where they belonged!) :)

Tea-Time with Tommy

Uh...coffee, actually...

Pinkie up!

Stepping outside for a breather...

...hey!  They're taking our picture!

Reveling in Linda's Mississippi Mud Pie!

The Surprise

"Oh boy, oh boy!  I just can't wait!"

"Hey!  No peaking!"

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, yes!  I'm ready!"

Cracker Jacks!  Johanna's first experience...thank you Tommy!

Junebug received floods of wonderful birthday calls.  Thank you, Bob & Gloria, Al & Joy, and Harry & Gloria!

Spellbound...alright, now I'm supposed to be the photographer here...who snapped this?? :)

"So long, Tommy.  Thanks for coming to celebrate with me!"

Some gift opening!  What lovely paper, Linda!

Ah, and such a comforting gift!

Explaining how fabulous it is to sleep on...

...and how it remembers the form of your head as you sleep!

Observing the kiddos

Paige and June, Granddaughter-in-love (Geoff's wife) & Grandmother

"Look out!  Ready or not ('Not!') ...here we come!"

                                      

Now, everyone scream as you fly down 2 whole miles per hour into the rickety fence!

"Whew!  It wasn't so bad after all."

The struggles kids go through for the 10 second amount of enjoyment at the end

Our three stooges: Lindsay (June's Great-Granddaughter), Johanna, and Taylor (Great-Grandson)

Down the slide we go!

A sweet brother and sister

Taylor...quite the drama-llama :)

A wet good-bye!

Water break

June and Sarah, Great-Grandmother & Great-Granddaughter

"Good-bye, Nana."  "Oh, give me a hug, Nana!  Please, O please!"

"Happy Birthday, Nana!"

"Good-bye"....Wait a minute!  She's not going anywhere! :)

Tuckered-out, our pink petunias have had a lovely day.

Thank you, Robbie & Yvette for the gorgeous roses!

Well, that's about it, folks!  Thank you to all who made this day extra special for June.  At supper that night, she told us that "this was the best birthday I've ever had"...Praying blessings on this new year for you, our Sunshine Girl!
