Mimi's 97th birthday bash!

I wish all  my cousins/ friends/Judy's friends/Dean's friends/Fred's friends and all the grandkids friends and well, EVERYONE who knows Mimi could've been at her b'day party Aug. 14th! As it was, our OWN FAMILY filled up Judy's house---every room! We would've loved to have had everyone come celebrate but space wouldn't allow it! (and Judy's house is big!)! As it was, we had to take turns , almost, to get time to get our pix made family by family with Queen Mimi! HAHA!! I didn't get everyone's family, but I think Beth might have gotten those I missed. Time went way too fast and by the time we all got to hug/talk to everyone it was time to go home! It was a BLAST and just made me realize that we are going to have to find somewhere to have a big ole space so our family can do this more often! Our kids/grands love to see each other and it seems almost a crime to wait a year to do it again. Soooo, between the BRAINS in the family( me and Judy , haha) we are trying to figure out  how we can maybe make the magic happen again, maybe even by Christmas. As far as the QUEEN?? She loved every minute! She came in making us laugh (see the pix) and throughout the whole party!!! Terry and I took her home and she just went on and on about how much fun it was and how she enjoyed it all. Wow, that little woman has quite a bit of offspring!!! Hahahaha...here are a few pix  of the day. I try to add captions but they never work! (help, anyone????). Anyway, see if you can figure out who is who. Not easy with such a huge family!!! It was a blast and we are so blessed to have our little Queen still making us laugh, at 97 years old!!!! We love our Mimi and we love our big family!!!! We laughed/giggled/acted silly/played beauty parlor/ate/vied for Mimi's attention and just had a grand ole time!!!!!OH! And lest I forget, the highlight for Mimi was seeing Patrick, Kelley and baby RYDER when he SKYPED us!!!!! It was a beautiful moment!
