Happy Birthday, Vi!!!

Summer is a time for birthdays in our family, but none was as special this year as Momma's. We all got together to celebrate her 80th birthday on the weekend of July 17th. On her actual birthday, July 16th, Janey, Michael, Toni, and I took her to dinner. We had a great time together and when we got home we had even more fun trying to get this picture of us using the timer on my camera:

The following night we hosted a reception at Momma's house. We had LOTS of food (but then that seems to be a common theme in this family):

We had a lot of family and friends come by. I've added a few pictures of some of the evening's events below... Me & Kayce:

Toni & Momma on the deck chatting with Eddie May and Damon Rose:
Drew doing something crazy with Harrison (Leslie, Will & Kayce are sitting behind them):

The Stotts "children":
We had a reunion of Janey and her friend, Sherrill and had to get a picture of them with Kayce and Sherrill's daughter, Tammy (these 4 had many adventures when Kayce and Tammy were wee little girls):
We had lots of fun getting this picture of them - and I'm not really sure why it seemed so necessary to take it this way (but trust me, we had FUN getting it done)!
Then came "Pictures with the Birthday Girl" time!!! Here's Momma with Drew and Thomas:
And with Harrison:
And with Kayce, Ashley, Jenny & Leslie:
Finally, it was just "Free-for-all picture" time...starting with Toni & Thomas:
Then Toni & Drew:
Then me & Toni:
Kayce & Momma:

While we missed Mike, Sherry, Jonathan, Faith, and Leah, it was still a great party for a great lady! I'm just not sure how we're going to top it next year!!!
