CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS

December is a big birthday month in the Joyce family for the women.
We celebrated at the Cheesecake Factory with these, after stuffing ourselves with lunch first!!!

Mother and daughter.
Jacque, our younger daughter, who's birthday was today, December 22nd
&
Jessica, our oldest granddaughter, who turns 22 tomorrow, December 23rd.

Mother & daughter
Susan with Suzette, our oldest daughter, who celebrated her birthday on December 13th. I prepare a family dinner celebration on that date.


Jacque, Jessica & Suzette leaving the Cheesecake Factory with gifts in tow
after a wonderful time of sharing, eating and fun.


This is 12 year old Oksana taken at a friends house during our recent Ice Storm.
The last Joyce woman who was scheduled to attend the celebration and didn't get to come because she woke up very sick this morning.
We missed you honey.

P.S. Mother & Grandmother Susan will be celebrating her 70th birthday on Christmas Day!!!

Can you believe, after celebrating my birthday on Christmas, I would have two daughters and a granddaughter born so close to Christmas?

It's somehow fitting that your birthday is on Christmas Day!!! Congrats to all of you on celebrating another year, and for getting to celebrate together.

Hope Oksana feels better soon!

We have many July Birthdays in our families. So when I found out my daughter was due in July I told everyone she would be born in June. She was in fact born June 30th, which is so close to July that she starts off the string of birthdays.

Susan Skitt said...

Oh Happy, happy birthday to you Susan (and should I say Merry Christmas too? - smile) and your dear family. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory!!!

Your December sounds like our family September, a busy birthday month, but filled with many blessings for sure!

Wow, truly a busy month of birthdays in December. How cool. Susan - my Mum turned 70 on December 23rd! I loved that one of my Spiritual Mum's shares a birthday (well only two days apart). Happy New Year!!!
