90th Birthday Bash

 

                                          

May 9, 2025 - Mom's 90th birthday is May 25th, but to get everyone together we needed to have the party earlier in May.  We decided to have the party at Ann's since it's close to Emily's house and only 30 minutes from the Cincinnati airport.  Elaine and Meg both took off work on Friday and Meg got in around 10:00AM and Elaine around 2:30.  Emily and Vinny drove down for the afternoon/evening and it was fun catching up with everyone.

Meg's here!

We were all hungry, so we stopped at Skyline on the way back to Ann's

Who doesn't love a Skyline 3-way?

While we waited for Elaine's flight to get in, we enjoyed the screened porch

Yay!  They're both here!

We were greeted by Emily!

Dinner together

6 pints of Graeters ice cream, gave us lots of good options for dessert
