Swinging Sixties

The family gathered recently to celebrate a monumental milestone for Mom - the number 60!  She requested a very simple gathering - to include - fried chicken, french fries, rolls, cake, corn and ice cream. Don't worry, we did not eat the items in that order!  She also requested that we (all her daughters and families) come home for a family gathering to mark her day.

The weather was fantastic for October - close to 80 degrees - and the seven grandkids celebrated by playing outside.  The guys hung out in the garage, and us gals caught up on the last several months in the kitchen.

It was great to see everyone, and I really think we should schedule a party each year.  Holidays seem super hectic, and everyone is running from place to place.  So, this was perfect!  Mom, how would you feel about celebrating 60 again next year?
