Barbara turned 90 years old, and her sons and their families combined efforts to throw Barbara a wonderful birthday party.  Many family members and friends drove and flew into town to celebrate Barbara!  The tables were decorated with beautiful floral arrangements and adorable pictures of Barbara throughout her life.  Barbara still carries her beauty that she had in her younger days too.  Donna is Farmer J’s aunt, and she is married to one of Barbara’s sons, Gus.  I know Donna and Gus’ family well, but it was wonderful to place faces to the names I have been hearing about for years!  It was a perfect evening to eat, drink, and celebrate Grandma Barbara!  If you would like to see more sessions like this one, you can view Laura’s 60th birthday celebration here to see more family birthday fun!

Barbara was able to get a picture with just her sons, many friends, and a large family picture.  Donna and Gus were able to get a large group family picture of their children and grandchildren.  Unfortunately, Barbara had not seen her siblings in years; but they were able to attend to celebrate with their sister.  Families had the opportunity to update their family pictures, and couples were able to steal a moment alone together.  Everyone enjoyed mingling with longtime family and friends, and the children enjoyed playing all evening long in Donna and Gus’ gorgeous backyard.

Barbara, you are so lucky to have so many people that care so deeply for you.  Many people dream to have exactly what you have as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother!  You have a very special family that loves you very much.  These pictures will last for generations to enjoy!  I had so much fun spending the evening with your sweet family.  I loved watching all of your grand and great-grandchildren play together, laugh, and enjoy being in your company.  Happy Birthday, Barbara!
