Happy 40th "Aunt" Bev

Last Saturday was one of our closest friend's birthday! The Poe family has been friends with my husband's family for years and years. Since our family has been so close with Bev and her family, our kids call them "Aunt Bev", "Aunt Rhonda" and "Gma Margie". We were invited to attend Bev's surprise 40th birthday bash and we all had fun! We were all told to be at the school at 6 so her sister Kim could go pick her, her other sister Rhonda and her Mom up, for a birthday dinner. Kim said her Mom and "the girls" always get together for each other's birthdays, so this was no different than any other year. The thing was, Kim told her she had to drop something off at the school and when they did...all of us were there waiting to welcome her! She was totally shocked and embarrassed that all of this to-do was for her, but she was very happy too! We hope you enjoyed your party Bev, it was great fun watching your RED face step out of the van and be welcomed by your guests ; ) We love and appreciate you and your friendship!

Some of the gang waiting to welcome Bev: Mowerys, Johnsons, Wilhelms,
Stetlers, Highlanders, Banes, etc.
