60th Birthday Video

I created this video for Grandma Barbara's 60th birthday. It includes a birthday message from Savannah, as well as some of our favorite moments with Barbara from the last few years:

Happy 60th Birthday, Grandma Barbara!

Happy 60th Birthday, Grandma Barbara!

On September 19, 40 family and friends came to Benny and EJ's house 

to help us celebrate Barbara's milestone birthday:

Benny and EJ served clam chowder, shrimp salad, mahi tacos, and fried shrimp:

Clam Chowder

Our gift to Barbara was this framed family photo 

that included birthday messages from family and friends:

A note from Benny:

"Happy Birthday to the best mom in the world. 

I love you more every day." 

A note from Gran and Grandaddy:

"To our #1 Daughter, you're the best. Thank God for you."

A note from Benny, EJ, and Harper Grace:

"Words cannot describe how blessed we are to have you in our lives. 

You are always there for us and we couldn't love you more! Love you!"

A note from Barbara's cousin Beverly:

"Happy Birthday! You are such a kind and giving soul and

so proud you are part of my family! I love you. 

Maybe you can sit at the 'grown up' table now."

A handmade gift from a friend:

 Barbara baked this yummy cake for Harper and Savannah, 

so they could blow out the candles:

Gran made this pig pickin' cake (made with mandarin oranges) for the party:

At Barbara's request, Gran made this German Chocake cake (Barbara's favorite) from scratch:
