65 Great Years

For Dave's 65th birthday, Camille gathered, from family members, 65 reasons why they love David. She also gathered favorite photos of Dave and his family and put them together in a photobook. The photobook was presented at a birthday dinner at Dave's house on December 26. Many of the "65 reasons" celebrated Dave's fun sense of humor and practical jokes, but there was a whole range of other comments, such as loving the kids enough to call them regularly, and "operating like a clock" on exercising, home teaching, and other good habits--predictably and dependably. Jonny put together a trivia game, asking such questions as "How tall is Dave now?" (5'8 1/4") "What is the tallest he's ever been?" (5'9") December 26 was Sophia's birthday, too, and she opened fun gifts and had the relatives participate in a trivia game about her, too.

Dave's mom and Darrell joined the party, as well as Nancy and Darrell. Janice arrived from Houston with Charlotte in the afternoon, dragging a trailer and car. They came straight to the party, along with Joshua and Ashley and Ben.

Gretta and Lisa baked chocolate raspberry and tropical coconut birthday cakes to celebrate.
