The Birthday folks- inluding BB's 70th!

This past Saturday we celebrated Gram's 68th birthday, Aunt Char's birthday and BB's 70th birthday. We enjoyed a wonderful turkey cooked by Paul and it almost seemed like Thanksgiving- but with happy birthday plates for the dessert.
A "70" cupcake arrangement (thanks, Gram, for the idea):



BB opening his scrapbook- with memories from about 30 friends and family (he stayed up until 11:30 Saturday night reading it!):

Paul pretending to use little Paul's fireman axe to cut the turkey (be sure to check out little Paul's hand reaching up to try and "help"):

My favorite quote from the night was when, since he didn't have his reading glasses, BB couldn't read little Paul's new "Bob (the Builder)'s birthday" book... so Paul asked: "BB, why can't you read?"

Looking at the great pictures in "This is your life, Bob Bennett" by Gram (pictures from all 70 years!):
