October Birthdays

October is a busy birthday month for our family.  Dad, Melissa, Grandma Hultgren, Greg, and Clay all have birthdays in the month of October.  Dad turned the big 50 last weekend on 10-10-10 and then Melssa turned 31 yesterday 10-16-10.  Today we had a surprise 75th birthday party for Grandma...whos birthday is 10-19 and then Uncle Gregs birthday is 10-20 (or 10-21).  Perfect day for the event! We met at the Fremont Airboat Club got everything set up and then waited for the guest of honor to show up.  Grandma was pretty surprised when she pulled up and saw about 50 of her closest family and friends there.  It was a great Fall day and a great time with good friends, good family, and great food :-). 

Here are some pictures from our October Birthday Weekend Celebration:

Soooo we put the number candles on Melissa's cake/pie...however Hy-Vee had ran out of the number 3 candles so we put a number 4 on the candle so it said "41 instead of 31"  This is the Melissa's shocked face! She was a great sport about it!!

Grandma with her cake that Melissa made for the Surprise Party...it was Tasty Goodness!!!
