Dee's Birthday!

My mom's birthday was on July 26th. She came up here and spent the night with us on her way to Muenster for a birthday celebration. Marcia and Mallory were here and we had a fun and funny night celebrating our Dee. We had a yummy dinner of Texas dressing with pound cake and fresh peaches for dessert.
Before dinner Abby fixed Dee's hair. This is something that both Marcia and I did when we were growing up. So I'm glad Abby can carry on the tradition.
After dinner, Dee opened all of her presents. We gave her a golf-themed chip and dip sort of thing for her real present. Nathan and Abby gave her a ton of other presents that they chose and wrapped all on their own. Here they are helping her to open all the mystery gifts.

Nathan gave Dee one of his golf balls to use for her golf outings.

Abby gave her the "shotter" from her doctor kit.

Abby also gave her a carton of plastic Easter eggs.

Here is her real present!

Abby also gave her the "Mac" truck from the movie Cars.

They gave her a cap gun, too. Just what every good grandmother needs.

These two loved helping her open all the "presents"

I'm laughing again reading this. That was a fun day.
Mal was brushing everybody's hair yesterday at play group, so she's ready to help out with Dee's hair.
