Mom's Birthday Pics

Melissa and Em both covered Mom's birthday celebration extremely well, so I'm just going to post a few pics from the evening. It was a great time!

Mom received some nice gifts, including this bouquet of yellow roses, a hand painted mailbox and a digital picture frame. I think Em was right, though, when she said that the greatest gift was just the whole family being together!


Q and J were just having a grand ole time at their end of the table. They were doing little synchronzed routines to the Motown hits playing in the background. Here, they were rockin' a hand-roll over their creme brulee'. It was the funniest thing!!



Here's Mom doing what she does best: Babies!!!!



Tiny E, after getting his tummy full and taking a brief catnap, was being very livley and sociable with Mam-maw and Pap-paw. He is SUCH a doll baby!



Walker was just the best behaved (and, oh-my-gosh, the most ADORABLE) little critter, all evening long. His reaction to dessert being served was worth a million dollars. Happy is the boy gets chocolate ice cream for dessert!!



Quentin, little cutie-pie that he is, all hopped-up on Shirley Temple's putting on a show. What a mess!! :0)



This was the ONLY time Everett would look at me the whole evening. He heard me trying to get his attention and just very quickly cut his eyes in my direction for a moment, without even moving his head, as if to say "Okay, okay, there ya go". A quick glance to his adoring fans--what a bashful little flirt! :0)



Melissa'a brood, with the boys being their usual silly selves. Savannah really tried to smile nice for the picture, but Jack was not ABOUT to allow that! LOL!!


It really was a fun evening. The food was just fabulous, the conversation was lively and the kids wee hilarious. I think Mom really enjoyed herself. I know I did!


Happy Birthday, Mom!!
