Clarice's Birthday Weekend

Clarice turned some different age than she had been before this past week . Several of us gathered at our place to wonderfully sing, to celebrate and to eat cake. Well... two out of three is not bad. Later in the week we made arrangements for a football game to be played in her honor.

Clarice's birthday is within a couple of days of her Grandpa Bennnett's birthday. We probably have 30 picutres with the both of them blowing out candles together.

She opened gifts as the grandmas looked on.

Since Clarice likes parties so much we schedule the superbowl to happen near her birthday so others could get in on singing "happy birthday"

Pre-game festivities

There was a fairly balance group of fans, some in Purdue garb mainly cheering for the gold and black team and others cheering for Blue and white.

Clarice and Jon's living room has been the setting for at least a half dozen of these superbowl parties. There is a pretty broad age group with a bit of a focus on providing a place for Grace College students to hang out with some of our church members.

The game was a good athletic contest, fairly played.

For haf time an ancient rock and roll band played in honor of some of the old guys in attendance. Maybe I need a hat and more drums.

One of the themes of the party was funny hats. here's Jon with his fourth hat.

At the end of the day just like last year one team won and one lost. The winners celebrated and the losers felt bad that they lost. We had a good time.
