The Birthday Boy

                               

Today was a surprise birthday party for Vince's 80th birthday!  He was completely surprised!  Family and friends came from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and around western New York State, and Long Island.  It was so wonderful to have a family gathering after a year and a half of not seeing each other.  Here Kathy has given Vince a gift of one of here handmade zip pouches, and inside she had paper envelopes marked "Emergency Pills" which were M&M's and Red Hots!  It got quite a laugh.


Guests gathered around in Christopher and Becky's kitchen, and sang "Happy Birthday," and Vince was emotional as he thanked everyone who attended.  It was a wonderful day of kids playing games and the adults sitting around conversing, telling stories, and catching up.


And of course there needed to be a photograph of all the family and friends who attended.  I posted a larger than normal image so if you click on this you should be able to see more detail.

I laughed out loud at Kathy's "emergency" pills :-) I love the family photo - seeing everyone together for Vince's eightieth birthday. Truly heartwarming! Send my birthday wishes to Vince. betsey
