The big 80th birthday bash

Mom's birthday bash was lots of fun. It was great to see everyone again.

Matt and Vanessa with all their kids . . .
Dave and Marla with Stephie and Jackie - such cute girls!

"the cousins"- Matt and Paul (although it is a bit disappointing that they don't run to us and jump into our arms anymore)

Tiffany and Brian - they had an exciting announcement to share!

Aunt Ashley flew in from California and Bethany's family flew in from Houston. Here is Ashley trying to be the favorite aunt.

David and Alissa made it after an adventuresome day packing an entire apartment into a single axle U-haul trailer. Strong work, guys!

Bethy and Annie
Cindy was there with her entire family, looking beautiful, as always.

and, of course, the special attraction and guest of honor: mom. Happy 80th Birthday, Mom!
