Joan on the Road...of Life

And let me tell you that this year's birthday was much happier than last year!

Naomi and Brad invited us for dinner so we got in a little playtime with Evan and visiting with them. I helped Evan make a torn construction paper animal, Perry Platypus! Evan has quite an imagination and is full of energy. He also made me a card and printed the sentiment and his name.

Naomi made Chicken Broccoli Alfredo which was very tasty. We topped it off with chocolate cake and ice cream. Evan, of course, had to help blow out the candles.

All my family called or texted me with birthday wishes. My Mom recalled the pain of giving birth but told me I was a beautiful baby (at 10 lb. 10 oz.)! SILaw Tom sent a video of him singing happy birthday! Thanks Tom! Grands got together to sing to me. I got Faceobok wishes and e-cards with sentiments that made me cry. About 10:15 PM the last kid checked in to wish me happy birthday and give me love.

Now that's a perfect day! ....and the party continues!
