Sentimental Sunday

Last night we celebrated these two sweethearts

My Daddy's 89th birthday, my Mom's 87th birthday AND their 69th Wedding Anniversary!  What a great heritage of love, and commitment.
Look who all was able to come out to wish them all the happiness in the world...

Three of the four sisters could be there (the fourth one arrives later tonight)

Julie, Tyler and Gracie

Jeff, Jess and Sawyer

Sawyer is loving some Grandma Great kisses

Sawyer was so happy! loving making noise with the spoon and pointing at all the lights and fans (one of his newest favorite things to do)

Tyler and Gracie sure do love their little cousin

Sawyer is the youngest great-grandchild to my parents and Scott is the oldest grand-child.  There are 12 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren!

Here are 2 more of the great grandkids Brady and Kyra (grandchildren to my oldest sister, Judy)

They all are growing up so fast.  The rest of the families are scattered throughout several states.  I can't even remember when everyone was all together - I guess that is just how it goes with a growing family.
This is the gift card holder I gave them...

Yes, we ate at the Pizza Ranch! A favorite local spot

This is my mom's baby brother who carried a calla lily at their wedding and tucked inside that calla lily was my mom's wedding rings.  I thought that was so special.

Another Cake

This cake was made for a VERY SPECIAL man in our church who is celebrating his 80th birthday.  Since I grew up in this church, this man was a huge foundation in my upbringing.  He is very dear to my heart so I was honored when his family asked me to make the cake for his celebration.  Perk is an avid fisherman so they suggested a fishing theme for his cake.

Not only did they ask me to make the cake but his grand daughter (my hairdresser) asked if I could make him a special card for her to give him.  YOU BET!!  Another one of the things that I remember and appreciate about Perk is that he has a workroom where he would help all the boys (who needed help) to cut out their Pinewood Derby Cars.  He has the most giving heart, and has blessed more lives than will ever be counted.  A TRUE man of God.

Card inspired by Julie DiMatteo
Happy Birthday Perk!!
