an evening to remember

though this is not the first time
         each time is just as exciting

before we go there is preparation...

We won't say who helped the guys get dressed

   


   but some things need a helping hand....

  and then there is  the place 

  and staff that welcomes you like old friends   ( did he really remember me from last year ?)

                                        A favorite display

and of course  the people 

                                          Our Birthday Girl                                    Aunt Pat

                                                   with

                                                       Her four daughters

                                    Three of us favored cousins

                                 grand daughters and grand in laws 

                                                                 two cousins
