Family Birthday dinner

On Sunday, we gathered with the family to celebrate mine and dad's birthday!  It was mom, dad, me, Nana, Linda, Richard, Lindsay, Casey, Cameron, Rochelle and Dustin.  We had chicken over the coals, macaroni and cheese, squash casserole, broccoli salad, green beans and sweet potato casserole.  YUM! Lindsay made two tasty dips and Nana made her pineapple along with chocolate covered strawberries.

Cameron helped us blow out our candles on our cakes - mine was Ebony and Ivory and dad's was Strawberry Sensation, both from Publix.

We both received several nice things from our family.  Ro/Dustin and Lindsay/Casey/Cameron gave dad several different kinds of BBQ sauce and fudge.  Linda/Richard gave dad a white/grey polo and Nana gave him a gift card from Best Buy.  Uncle Larry was on a cruise but sent a card with some cash for each of us.  I received hand scrub/cream and fudge from Lindsay/Casey/Cameron and a beautiful dolphin charm for my Pandora bracelet from Ro/Dustin.  Nana gave me money to go towards my heart rate monitor and calorie counter watch.  Linda/Richard gave me an awesome solar lamp and beautiful kitchen towels.

I am so honored and blessed to have each person in my life - they each bring so much joy to my life!!!  Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so SPECIAL!
