Happy 50th Birthday!

Berlynn is going to have a big birthday bash, so we need to do some construction and cleanup before the big event. Christy, Stephanie and Krista are getting ready to put the arches up for the tent.
The arches need to be attached to the deck and Stephanie is handy with a screw gun while Christy supervises carefully.
Stephanie hangs the first of the lights just as it starts getting dark. Tent construction is done for the day.
Then Berlynn is treated to the first of her birthday presents with a performance of the famous Lippizaner Stallions.
On her birthday morning she unwraps her presents from Stephanie and Krista.
That evening we get ready to go out to dinner.
Happy Birthday honey!
Of course what is a birthday without a party with all of your friends? There was a lot of work and we think we're finally ready! The deck is ready!
The flowers that our friends Alex and Jeannette - who were in Montana,- and Martine and her family sent were on display and were ready for guests.
I'm not ready, I'm not ready!
We're ready, we think we're ready are you ready?
Here mom, let me cut off this little string, now your dress is ready!
Elena puts on her make-up, now she's ready!
...and the food is ready! Let the guests start arriving!
