Two weekends ago we had a "3-birthdays-in-1 party" with my family at our lake cottage. It was a celebration for my Uncle David's birthday, Mamaw's birthday, and Lee's birthday. Their actual birthdates are within 3 weeks of each other so it works out well to combine parties.
We started the party with a fabulous and delicious meal made by my mom... she insisted! (I made appetizers and Mamaw made a dish as well... but it was so nice to not have to worry about food... thanks, Mom!) Next, we opened gifts and sang happy birthday. After cake and ice cream we took the pontoon out for a putt-putt around the lake and cuddled under warm blankets (Mamaw drove the boat and loved it!) It was such a fun day (it could have been a little warmer) and we have decided to make it a tradition to celebrate these birthdays at our cottage every year.
Guests included: Mom, Dad, Mamaw, David, Ali, Adam, Natalia, Amy, Chris... and my Grandma and Grandpa Elkins joined us from Ohio!

Adam's girlfriend, Natalia, and I pose for a shot. She is such a sweetheart... and smart & beautiful, too! What a catch, Adam!

David and Amy wore the same color so we had to get a shot of the two of them. You can tell they share the same sense of humor :)

Mamaw pointing to her Happy 33rd Birthday sign. She always says she is "33 and holding". How cute is that?

You all look so snuggly in your long-sleeves and drinking coffee all day! Sounds good right now!
It looks like everyone enjoyed the party, especially the birthday honorees.
I didn't know your sister was engaged! Congrats to her. This looks like sooo much fun. I love fall and sweatshirts - hot chocolate for me though. I still need to see this famous lake house.
Looks like a fun day of birthdays!!
