It's been a while since I did a Sunday Snapshots post, but we had a grand time yesterday celebrating all of the August birthdays, so I've gathered some photos to share.
After we ate lunch together, we set up the party table with birthday pies: blueberry, lemon meringue, Key lime, and chocolate.
Everyone looks deep in thought because we were playing a party game. Each August birthday person had been asked a series of questions (i.e. Cake or pie? Math or English? Summer, winter, spring, or fall?) and players had to guess how each one had answered.

| Birthday peeps: Mom, Kristin, Owen, Ryan, me, and Ron |
Singing "Happy Birthday" was a hoot! It went something like this:
♫ Happy birthday dear Miriam Mom Gammy Kristin Mama Owen Ryan Daddy Cheryl Mom Gran Ronnie Dad Papa . . . Happy birthday to you! ♫
 |
| Blowing out candles in order of birth date . . . |
Alaine (who missed being an August birthday by one day!) was our Birthday Fairy, distributing lovely packages to the recipients.
 |
| Decisions, decisions. |
 |
| Macie chose chocolate. |
It was a happy, healthy gathering! And it wouldn't have been complete without Wrapping Paper Antics! 😁
Sooooo sweet Cheryl. Happy Birthday to all of you. What a great family celebration.

Thank you, Brenda! We do have lots of fun!
DeleteCheryl, what a great idea to have one big combined celebration. Your son's wrapping paper antics reminded of something I heard years ago: "Leave a man in a room with a tea cozy and he'll end up wearing it like a hat!"
ReplyDeleteJean, I think there's a great deal of truth in that statement! :D
