Thursday Night Party

Last Thursday night (August 4)Roxanne and Marty threw a big surprise birthday party for Marty's right-hand man, Mike. The party was held at the Winton VFW, the theme was Hawaiian. In the above picture is Roxanne and Marty. In the background you can see people sitting at the bar.
Marty and friends, Kory, Jay and Danny cooked the dinner. A live band played and people got up and danced. Marty danced with his Mom, Virginia and she looked like she was having a grand time.
Marty's sister, Caroline baked a very impressive cake, shaped like a beer bottle. It was hard to believe that white bottle with a label was really a cake. I cloned out the word that was in between 'Best' and 'Cabinet' I didn't want to use the "f" word on my blog. Sorry to mess up the picture. lol.
Below is a picture of Caroline cutting the cake she baked. She turned the cake around to show the backside of it, which she said is her favorite side.
It's very pretty; the palm trees carry out the Hawaiian theme.

And where is the picture of the Birthday Boy? I think the only ones I got of Mike, he is holding up the special tee shirt they had made for him. The tee shirt covered his face, so no picture of him. I guess Mike was surprised, they had to convince him to come to the VFW, he wanted to just stay home. The place was packed with his friends and family. People were sitting around the bar all night and others at the tables listening to the live music or dancing.
My sister Carolyn and I went home kind of early, about 8:30, but some stayed until around eleven.
Pictured below is my sister Carolyn in the middle, her granddaughter, Stephanie on the left and Carolyn's daughter Roxanne on the right. Stephanie is Roxanne's daughter so it's a 3 generation picture.
