A birthday party

Our daughter had quite a lovely birthday

celebration over the weekend.  She says that

she had the best birthday ever!  A few things were kept

secret from her and was she ever surprised!

To start her big day, birthday flowers were 

received.

Birthday cake and ice cream was eaten.

Gifts were opened with Stormy taking it all in

 and playing with the tissue paper.

 

Les Bougeouis Vineyards overlooking the Missouri River.

Then, a late afternoon trip to the winery in Rocheport
to meet friends.

A couple of friends were invited as a surprise for

our daughter, who was thrilled to see old friends

that she hadn't seen in a while.  Her college roommate

and an old classmate were among those able to attend.

Same place, just looking away from the sun toward the Missouri River bridge.

When darkness began to fall and it was time to

leave, everyone trekked up the hill to the cars.

But, unknown to Kim, there was another surprise

waiting for her! 

A stretch limousine had been reserved to

take Kim and a few of her friends for a 

cruise around Columbia!  To say she was shocked

is putting it mildly.  I wish I had captured the look on 

her face when she realized it was there for her!  

Her brother did most of the planning for this event.

He wanted to do something special for his 

sister's birthday and it was!!

Kim loved every minute of her birthday and had

a lot of fun with all of her friends and brother, too.

The limo ride was a huge hit with everyone!

Hubby and I didn't ride in the limo, but I did

sit in it and took a few photos of the group.  

It was a wonderful and fun evening for

a special birthday celebration. 

 All too soon, it was time to say....

Good Night!!

Until next time...
