Shawn’s mom’s 80th birthday was September 20th. We made a nice dinner for her and played it low key. Little did she know, we had a bit of a surprise planned for the following weekend.
Marie’s brother, Cleon, and his wife Ellie came out from New York to spend the weekend with us. We had plans to take Marie out for a fancy dinner on Saturday night but… she was a bit under the weather. So, we left her at home to sleep it off and headed up to Salem for a night out. We walked around the historic downtown for a bit and then settled into an Irish pub for a nice meal. Though we missed Marie, we still had a great time!
The next day, Marie was fortunately feeling a little better and she was able to attend the little surprise party we had planned for her.
We had a few friends over (including her biggest fan, Thor) for some cake and snacks and a bit of the bubbly. We lit candles and sang and generally brightened up the soggy afternoon.
Marie enjoyed having her family around her and even put up with us ribbing her about the striking resemblance between her and Sponge Bob.
We think Marie had a good time! Happy Birthday Marie! Cheers to many more!
And my oh my, it was a happy, happy day! Happy birthday, Spong… er, Marie.
Thor must be Marie’s biggest fan – thy’re both dressed alike!
Looks like a great party and a good time for all. Give belated Happy 80th B’Day to Marie for me.
