This year, we celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary at home. Since it was a Sunday, we went to church and came home afterwards to find our table all set up for a wonderful meal at home.
This had all been set up by our granddaughter, Ella, and her mother, Natalie (who got it ready, plus went to their church ward, too!).
The fantastic meal was served to us by our very special waitress, Ella after taking our orders of either the special "port roast," or the main dish of "roast pork," after enjoying a delicious Caesar salad with either sparkling cider or cider that sparkles to drink.
Yes, we ordered all the sides, too, and everything was cooked and brought to us perfectly! It definitely is the best restaaurant on Christy Ct.! Oh, and Ethan's part: He looped "unchained Melody," our favorite song, to be played over and over while we ate! Kent helped supply the great dinner conversation! We loved it all! Definitely one of the best anniversaries ever!!!
When Ella asked me to make her an Elsa costume for her piano recital coming up since she was playing the theme from "Frozen," I was pretty much afraid of how it would work out! But thank goodness I was blessed to have had my mother teach me how to sew. I thought it turned out fantastic (with a little help from above!) and Ella seemed pretty pleased. So many little kids were running up to her thinking she really was Elsa! It was definitely a success!
In addition, Ethan played a medley of songs from "Star Wars."
Both of them did fantastic!
Another evening, we were able to watch Ella perform at her year-end dance review. I think it was fun for Ella to have both sets of grandparents in attendance.
She really did a great job!
It has certainly been fun to live close enough to grand kids so that we can be part of their activities. George and I enjoy going to all they do and wish we could be at every single activity of every single grandchild!
One of the first things they did was stamp their darling t-shirts with, "Happy Camper."
They had grilled hotdogs and all kinds of yummy treats to go with them!
And of course, what's a camping trip without "fish bait," and the "catch of the day," and "grizzly bears," and even "bear poop!" Oh, my!
They even made s'mores over an outdoor fire pit.
It was all going great until the "sleeping" part, which didn't go well at all. When the older girls came (10 girls in all), they kept telling scary stories that kept the young girls awake. Need I say more? I doubt there will be many more slumber birthday parties, but this was certainly a party Ella will never forget (nor her mother!)
Natalie, also, had a birthday this month. I took her for a pedicure for her birthday present, which we both enjoyed! Great month of June!
