We decided to celebrate on Saturday, February 1^st

We corroborated on our “don’t tell Mema“ group text and came up with a 70’s theme. Being that this is her 79^th year, it seemed fitting. There was plenty of food that reflected the 1970’s like Hamburger Helper and that glorious ginger ale/pineapple juice punch with lime sherbet. There was a decade of 70’s music playlist to dance to.

Almost everyone dressed up

including Mama, thanks to an outfit that Gina put together for her.

If you follow her on Facebook, you probably saw the video of her grand entrance.

We had a great time!

One week and a day later, it was

Super Bowl Sunday

Several years ago, LB and I started a Super Bowl Sunday tradition. We have a small gathering with the friends I refer to as

“Party People”. Everyone brings game day appetizers, and we hang out together, eating and talking very loudly until the game ends. We will typically watch some of the game, but it’s easy to get distracted with the noise.

Then, of course, there is

Valentine’s Day

Our little Rory was born on Valentine’s Day and is celebrating her 7^th birthday this year.

Glammy gets to make the cake. The requested cake was “A chocolate Stitch cake”.

After we deliver the cake and birthday gifts to the little one, and we take a few photos in front of the shower of hearts, LB and I will be going out for yet another celebration.

LB made reservations last year for February 14th at the Alhambra.

We almost always have a great time when we go to the Alhambra. Sometimes the show isn’t all that great, but this time it was…
