Today was my 65th birthday and the kids arranged a surprise party that actually was a surprise. I only figured it out when the first car drove in.
There were about 20 people here, mostly family. It was nice because this year my birthday fell on Father's Day so it was a double celebration. They brought an ice cream cake decorated with a quilt design. They know what I like!
This is Reve helping me blow out the candles. Luckily there weren't 65 or the cake would have melted.
A quilty cake...how fun is that. Happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. What a great get together and wonderful cake. A quilt you didn't have any part in making.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. I hope Reve didn't want a cake smash with that cake!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Joyce!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic cake, I love the quilt design.
Aren't your family great to arrange such a nice surprise ? Love the look on the little chaps face as he's blowing out those candles. Happy belated birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Love the cake!

ReplyDeleteWell happy birthday fellow Gemini! Love the cake! And well done on finishing your patch quilt. It will be a bugger to quilt, but at least you have a frame!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Joyce!

ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday wishes to you, Joyce! Sounds like a pretty terrific day for your whole family to spend together...honoring the two that made it all happen!

ReplyDeleteIce cream cakes are my favorite, but a quilt on top is just, well, icing on the cake!
