Grammie's Birthday

Lisa and Dan hosted a birthday barbecue for Grammie at Stuart and Emile's camp on Shadow Lake. They've rented it for the week. The weather has been questionable, but today, in honor of Grammie's birthday, it was clear, breezy, and beautiful.

Cole enjoys gazing at the sweet frosting as Lisa covers the cake.

Elijah is almost 9 months old. Look at those adorable curls on the top of his head. Does he just get cuter every time you see him or what?

Dan did a magnificent job cooking hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill.

Here she is, the guest of honor. Martha Alexander - 77 today and going strong!



Elijah devours a plate of food.

Wayne takes a break from tadpole hunting to refuel.

Cole enjoys the burger and fruit salad but keeps asking about the cake.

Wayne goes back to tadpole hunting.

His persistence pays off. A bullfrog tadpole.



How many people does it take to light 77 candles on a breezy day?



Well, she didn't have to worry about being able to blow out all those candles. Mother Nature did it for her.


Uncle Cedric tries in vain to convince Cole that the happy Birthday song is not terrifying.



Poor Joanie can't catch a break with W,C,H around!



And they keep Lizzy pretty busy too. Luck for me to have Joanie and Lizzy around.


Happy Birthday Grammie! We enjoyed honoring your 77 years. Here's to many more.
