Liz's Birthday

On Liz's birthday, we went to a living history site called "Old World Wisconsin" I was surprised at how large the place was. They have over 600 acres of land, with houses and farms built by different nationalities (German, Scandinavian, Polish, etc.) I'm not sure why all my pictures from that have been deleted... I might need to contact Brad about filling in with his pictures.

In the evening, we had a seven course French dinner, and angel food cake. In between courses, we were kept entertained by Sean reading Spam Haiku's off the internet. Such as:

Ears, snouts, and innards,
A homogenous mass
Pass another slice

This set off much laughter and uncontrollable giggling. I think the following pictures still have some of that going on...



Sylvia helped Liz with the candels. Always good to have an experienced 4 year old candle blower sitting by you on your birthday.


Liz and grandkids... We were so glad to get to celebrate her birthday as a family. Too bad Brad's is in Jan. Well, you can always just consider flying out twice a year - we wouldn't mind.

Sylvia picked out a stuffed dog for her pressent to Grandma. She suggested that it should be named "Paws". Sylvia has a stuffed dog named Cocoa, they immediately became friends.
Now Sylvia can call and talk with Paws and Grandma on the phone.

It was a very satisfying day. One of favorites.

Great birthday party! Liz's gifts were so thoughtful - what a surprise for her to get material swatches from Asher! She has plans to use those in a quilt project. I still laugh when thinking about the Spam haikus - not your usual birthday entertainment!
