Gma Betty and the Birthday Extravaganza

By -
We had Grandma Betty's birthday here tonight, and I just thought I'd give you all a little taste of how the evening went. Here is one interesting conversation of note:

Grandma:

"Giraffes make rotten mothers"

*pause as we all examined the philosophical meaning of this remark*

Dad:

"Well have you ever tried to raise a teenage giraffe?"

Becca:

"I have"

Anyways, that about sums the evening up. There were lots of great presents (you guessed it-most of them bought by the birthday girl herself) and a FABULOUS chocolate cake (made by yours truly!--hence the FABULOUSness of it!) and just an overall great night of fun and games.

Hope you are all having as much fun as we are!---Lizzy

I think Grandma Betty is contagious. I wish I could have been there, but maybe it's better that I wasn't...so I can have my sanity.

Dear Lizzy,

I thought I was the only one who saw the milk episode -- If I didn't have such a hard time getting up I'd have fallen off
my chair right then and there.

Love,

A li'l something to get you in the holiday mood..

Okay, so here's the story behind this. We were reading scriptures, in Corinthians, about resurrection and being called back to the Lord or something....It mentioned something about the trumpets of God welcoming you back to heaven, and mom broke out into the trumpet fanfare from some Handel's Messiah piece. Becca, Lexi, and I did not (obviously) get the reference, but later on Dad broke out into some awesome Handel bass, and then...Voila! Mom came in with the trumpet fanfare, which was part of the song! We tried to get her to do it again on video, but she said she "does not perform on command." (next time we'll carry around a camera all the time just in case!) but anyways, here's what scripture reading is like at our house...enjoy! Love, Eliza
