Half a Century Passed... :)~


Last Thursday was my Middle name namesake's......Auntie E-Marie's.... 50th BornDay! She was born on Friday the 13th waaaay back in 1956....hehehe....and she is the youngest of my mom's sisters. So as per tradition ....our family celebrated on Saturday with a party, and the infamous cane was passed down to her!!!.....I'm next in line....but that's 10 years away.

Her and her husband Russell threw an awesome catered pool party at thier house. Swanson's Fish Market provided the food. Stuffed clams, lobster, prime rib, swordfish, grilled chicken, corn on the cob, red potatoes, and cole slaw. THe food was great! ......ooooooh and Auntie Pat made this great hot artichoke dip....I want that recipe!.....

It was nice to see the family. Everyone's so busy lately that we only see eachother on the holidays and special gatherings. I need to make an effort to hang with my Aunts and some cousins more often!

Here are some pics of the birthday GRL with the cake, 5 of 7 brothers and sisters, and some good friends that she has kept in touch with since high school....
Luv ya Auntie E... :)~ I hope you enjoyed your day!!! :)~
