Lila Mae's 90th Birthday Celebration

What an incredibly fun day.  Annie and I left ahead of the rest of the family to help with the set up.  Neal, Tucker and the Gertson family all showed for the festivities.  It was so fun to see so many family members from near and some as far away as Hawaii.  The open house was from 2 to 6.  Lots of people came to wish her a happy birthday.  Annie, Mallory and I left about 5 to get something to eat.  The three of us had not eaten all day.  We stopped at Cafe Rio in Heber, then to Lila Mae's house to get our home made bread that she had made that morning and then home.  It was a wonderful day!

Some fun pictures:  This is Jeff, Lila Mae and Andrew.  Quite a difference in heights.  We had a good chuckle over this one.


And this one!

Head lights and license plate in her name.
License plate in the back.
Notice the lit head lights.
The sign on the door of the truck says Famous Swiss Bread and backed goods.
The owners of the Dairy Keen where Lila Mae works every day and makes her famous Swiss bread put these great signs up on the Marquee





Two cute cousins, Lynda Ann and Mary.

Rare picture of Susan.  But a cute picture of Susan and Lila Mae

I LOVE this picture.  The Gertsons were leaving and Andrew came over, knelt down on one knee to give Lila Mae a hug.  What a beautiful display of love and respect from my grandson with a heart of gold.
