Big doin's for Dad and his 93rd Birthday Celebration.
Dad enjoys his bowl of 'award winning' Anthony's clam chowder. So bring on the chowder and let the celebration begin.
Sheri made all of the arrangements for the party, including the delivery of a birthday cake hidden away in the kitchen, awaiting sparkling candles and a post-chowder delivery.
Wendy and Barth made it over Snoqualmie Pass for the party and rode with son Brian, his wife Amy and daughter Elle.
Two-year old Elle has learned to love birthday parties and wants to know, "When is your birthday?" Hoping it is soon and that she can expect an invitation.
Of course Elle and everybody else got an invitation. Dad found his reserved Seat of Honor with a sunset view across Olympia's marina at the southern end of Puget Sound.
The guests poured in and made their selections.
We all ate well and then sang 'Happy Birthday' to Dear Grandpa... Happy 93rd Birthday to You!
Sheri gave Dad a bouquet of daffodils - King Alfred Daffodils are rumored to always bloom on Alfred's (Dad/Grandpa's) birthday. Sheri makes is so with a festive bunch of happy birthday flowers.
Dad hosts the event. We take a couple of parting shots in the parking lot after Wendy distributes Christmas goodies that had hitherto remained undelivered at Christmas because of the snow which blocked their travels over the pass at the time.
