Grandma's birthday Buffet

On Monday Feb 16 we met at the Golden Corral for mom's birthday dinner. We decided that Saturday would be too crowded because of Valentines Day but were shocked by how many people were eating out for Presidents Day! We had made reservations so we didn't need to wait in line and it worked out great. Leo and Jared and Mary usually have Family Home evening with us so this makes an especially fun FHE for them. Even Ann came to enjoy the party.
Randy's family missed the ferry by 5 cars so they were a little late but not too bad. The extra cars on the ferry was also because of Presidents day and no school. Jared and the other kids didn't let that curb their appetites.
Lisa home schools her kids but today was a holiday so they were tickled to be invited to celebrate moms birthday. Savannah and Dave seem to like it too.
Mary and Jared visiting with Randy who had been cutting trees all day with his tree service and was glad for the break and good food.
Janice and Matt are always ready for a fun time! I love this picture of them.
And here is the birthday girl and Pops! We were all glad for a reason to celebrate! Lainey, Sherilyn, Seth and Joel are all chowing down...Yummy!
Robin visits with Janice and Matt while Bill and Nina Dearinger and Meledie visit with mom. When it was time for dessert they brought mom a plate of goodies with a candle lit on top of a cupcake . They announced that it was moms 89th birthday and everyone in the entire place sang happy birthday. Thanks everyone for a fun Birthday Party!
