Mom Hall Turn 85 Years Old!

And this is what she got for her birthday..............

Well, not exactly, but part of her birthday wish...............

With Covid restrictions and health concerns in general, we were not sure what to plan for such a hallmark birthday as Number 85! Mom Hall had told Charon that she wanted to watch her grandchildren and great grandchildren play in the back yard.  And that is what she did!  From 4-7 on Friday afternoon of her birthday, she was able to watch almost all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren play on the water slide, eat popsicles, and have fun.

Charon arranged for the water slide, Vonette and Gary did decorations, and we brought some other yard games and water.  There were flowers from family members including the Baker family (the children of Mom's sister, Glenna.)  It was so nice to spend time with extended family even without hugs and trying to keep social distance.

Even Jena enjoyed the water slide.  She and Eric McKinney were the two grandchildren on the slide, although Eric usually had a few kids on his lap when he went down.

Charon also brought a slippery slide.  We used to do these when I was young, but most of the great grandchildren hadn't seen one before so Halle (I think) is showing how it is done.

Family fun is some of the best--I loved just sitting in a chair and watching......

Until my little grandchildren arrived and then I got to play with them!

We teach them young to love games in our family.  Carter and Alex figuring out Ladder Ball.

My nephew Chris sent me this photo afterwards where we tried to get all of the greats in one shot! A few are missing or behind other kids, but still a fun look at the GREATS!

Mom Hall said that she loved it!  I thought it was perfect and she has such a great yard for occasions like this. Now what do you want to do, Mom, for birthday #86?
