Celebrate!

On Saturday we had a multipurpose celebration:  Hilary's birthday, my birthday, Thanksgiving, and baby shower.  It was the only way we could guarantee that we'd get together while Hilary is still feeling pretty good.  Didn't want to take any chances of having it later.  But if everyone is up for it, we'll have a second Thanksgiving dinner.  

We had a really fun day.  Dinner, gifts, games, singing, and we watched a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Wade's birthday bash

Darryl and I have been more busy than usual.  One night we went to a fundraising Gala.  It was way too loud, and to be honest, the dinner was subpar.  Very disappointing.  Likely, we aren't going to do that again.  

Another night we went to Wade's big 75th birthday bash.  That was a lot of fun.  It was good to talk to people I used to go to church with.  Although it still gives me a tinge of sadness.  Here are some pictures of Wade's party.
