Lemon birthday cake, the girls' first taste of sugar since their birthday cake. Needless to say, they loved it.
Wonderful buffet. The girls enjoyed the melon & pineapple.

We were honored to attend Oma's (Patrick's grandmother) 90th birthday party on Sunday. What a special occasion for our family. Oma ("grandmother" in German) is such a strong, faithful woman. She was a war bride, marrying a serviceman in WWII & moving to America knowing no English, leaving her family & friends behind. I remember meeting her for the first time in 1999; Patrick had warned me she was the matriarch of the family & that if she didn't approve of me, that was the end of our relationship! Luckily, she approved & stated one of the happiest days of her life was the day of our wedding. I think her party on Sunday was also right up there! She had a great turnout of friends & family that love her dearly.
