I had a Wonderful Time!

My sister recently hosted my 60th (gasp!) b'day family party.  It was a lovely day shared with my son, Josh and his fiance April, my nieces, Chris and Katie, their spouses, 2 sweet toddlers and our new baby, Mila! (and, of course, my sister, Marcia and brother in-law Bob)  Poor DH Kent was in the hospital for a couple of days so he couldn't go! He's home and fine now thank goodness!

So I wanted to let them know how much I enjoyed the day with them all by making special thank you cards.

I had taken lots of candid pictures of the kids so I found two to crop and print for my cards.

I sent this card to my sister and her DH, Bob as the hosts. James and Landon (cousins, 9 months apart in age) were happily playing with toys Grandma (my sister) has for them to play with at her house.

and here is the inside of the card.  The lovely sentiments are from a set called Join Us by Waltzingmouse.

And I sent this card to both Katie and Christie - thanking them for their thoughtful gifts

After I photographed the cards, I wrote personal notes to each of them before mailing them off.

Here's Landon helping his great-aunt Julia blow out the candles.

And here I'm cutting up some cake for the boys.

I couldn't leave without a picture of the newest member of our family, Mila (pronounced Mee-la) held by her mummy, Katie

Gosh - I'm so thankful for my family!
