Gona's Birthday

Today we celebrated Gona's birthday! It started with an 8 am pontoon boat rental. Everyone got a chance to ride, including McKenna! Then Gona, Baca, Emmi, Mark, Kade, Tali, Grandma and Grandpa Great all met back at our house.

We had shrimp and veggie skewers, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, tomatoes with mozzarella and basil, breadsticks, cheesecake and a lemon beehive cake that I experimented with. We ate outside, even though it was a little windy.

The whole family gave Gona a leather journal that she can write about her travels in. Josh and Emmi wrote a little something in the front that made her cry. Grandma Great quilted a pansie quilt for Gona's bed. We also got to look at the slides that Gona and Josh have been feverishly putting on DVD . Josh hooked the computer up to the TV and it was a really good show! Was fun to see what Grandma and Grandpa Great were doing when they turned 60!

Happy Birthday Gona!

Now poor josh is working on our never ending deck project.....sigh.....
