Chelsea's 30th Birthday
It's Chelsea's 30th Birthday. Deb did all of the decorations, including all of the flowers, which she and Chelsea picked. Elizabeth organized the party. It was a fabulous Garden Party. They cooked the food too! This terrific trio can really put on a party!
Patrick and Tim "jam it up", while they rest from getting their house and yard ready. Tim had lights strung in the backyard and even had "misters", which made it pleasant all day.
John gets to lick the beaters from the whipped cream.
These were on the bar between the kitchen and the Sun Room.
The drinks are in the Sun Room on a table that Tim made.
Gazpacho Soup with celery sticks are in the Dining Room. Note that every food dish is labeled! (Another Deb "do")
The deviled eggs are displayed so well.
This food is displayed on the buffet that Tim and Chelsea made.
Fresh veggies can be eaten plain or dipped in the sauces.
More veggies and dips
The grape salad is Sami Cameron's recipe. Delicious!

Two different green salads and sandwich makings of sliced pork, chicken and beef.
The dessert tables are in the Living Room. Yummy cup cakes, chocolate and Deb's fabulous cookies.
Basket for cards and pictures of Chelsea decorate this corner of the Cabinet/Bookcase that Tim made.
The Dining Room table has all of the leaves in and is in the Living Room for comfortable seating.
Chelsea is quite popular with all of the kids as she shows them the dessert and they each get to choose what they want.
A view of this food display. The kitchen that Tim and Chelsea rebuilt (taking out walls, building the cabinets and getting new appliances) is shown on the right. The granite is beautiful. Tim made friends with people at the granite place and gets free pieces of granite, which they make into tables, cheese trays, etc.
Another view of this side of the Dining room
Wine and Champagne are served on the bar. Tim and Chelsea removed a closet and built this bar.
Purchased sushi

Another dessert table in the Living Room. Individual cheese cakes, mousse, whipped cream and toppings. (All made by Deb.)
Tim checks that everyone has something to drink. They have 2 kegs of beer plus specialty brands.
Everyone enjoys the great patio.
Tim takes down the fence between their house and Frank and Annie's so the kids can swim and play on the play set that Tim and Frank made.
The neighbor kids like playing with Tim and Chelsea's chickens (The Ladys!).
Chelsea demonstrates a piņata for the children while her dad, Woody, holds the rope.
The children take turns.
The champion!!!
The next morning, we are in our lazy clothes!
We are so excited that the Wann's drove in from Midland. Stori and Nick brought their darling daughters and they are expecting their third girl n October.
Tim was Nick's best man in their wedding and Nick was Tim's best man in theirs.
Nancy relaxes after being the "unofficial" photographer. Isla Wann gives Elizabeth and Chelsea some flowers.
Younger sister, Jemma, joins them.
Isla is trying to get the chickens to come to her while, Jemma is talking to her Dad.
