A 50th Birthday Party!!

Proverbs 3: 5-6  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.


This past weekend we celebrated my husband's 50th birthday. I made a small party for him, inviting some family to celebrate with us. So we had some good food including this birthday cake I made for him and we played a couple of fun games together.

Here is the picture of the cake:

The games were question and answer type games and I had prizes for the top three winners of both games. It turned out to be a lot of fun.
The first game was " Random Questions about 1963 - the year he was born" and the second game was "How well do you know Cliff?"
