Well, the weather didn't exactly cooperate all day on Saturday for Maria's party, but we had a great time anyway. It was rainy in the morning, and then cleared up after lunch just in time for cake and presents. Maria was surprisingly good for most of the day, although she only had a short nap in the morning and a bit longer one later once most of the family had left. She also surprised us all my really walking! She thought she would show off to everyone that was here.
We had both sets of parents, my grandmother, my siblings and a sister in law, Larry's sister and husband, our neighbor, and our two nephews. We were disappointed that my other grandmother and uncle couldn't come due to illness. (Hope you're feeling better Gramma!) Maria got some great gifts and is already enjoying them. We had a yellow sunshine theme since "Sunshine" is her nickname...it was fun to decorate a yellow sunshine cake and try to have as much yellow food as we could think of; mac and cheese, potato salad, cheeseburgers, lemons, grapefruit, apples, pears, popcorn, chips, cornchips, and lemonade.
Enjoy the pictures of our sunshiny day!
We have plenty to praise God for; a wonderful celebration with family.

Happy Birthday! What a fun video. Maria is adorable. I know you all must be enjoying every minute. Joy and blessings. Anna for all
My computer is too slow to see the slide shows. :( I may have to break down and ask the superintendent for a "password" or something to view pages off the filter.....Glad you had a good day! Mindy
