63rd Birthday

This was a really happy birthday.  We left here around 10 this morning to go to Sophie's gymnastics meet an hour away. Because George's sister Dawn was also going, and we really did not want to go in two cars, we smashed us four females into the back seat. That just made it more fun - most of the time. 😃  

Sophie had anxiety going into this meet due to falling off the beam last time. We tried to be very low key to keep her mind off it.  Here she is looking over the line-up when we first arrived. 

She did well in most of her events today and was proud of herself for not crying. This is the video of her beautiful floor routine.

After the awards ceremony we smashed ourselves into George's car again and made the trip back to Tampa.  We went to a gorgeous Italian restaurant, which I cannot remember the name of, and had a fantastic family style meal. We ended with desserts, one of them pumpkin cheesecake with a candle on top!





We were SO full when we left, and you guessed it - we had to smash ourselves back into the car one more time!  We were GLAD to get home!  

Once home, Sophie pulled out the Life game, and we had a great time playing Life and watching football at the same time.  Lots of good laughs. For once in my life I ended up the richest, haha!!


After the game was over, Sophie and I had fun looking through my YouTube videos  on her iPad. 


Meanwhile George and Dick fell asleep watching the rest of the football game!


I got happy birthday wishes from so many family and friends today. It was a really, really happy birthday.  I'm thankful for these 63 years.

Happy birthday!! I hit 63 next month! Praise God! Love the photos and I really enjoyed seeing Sophie's floor exercise. I love watching gymnastics.

We are always looking for good Italian restaurants! Let me know if you remember the name of that one you enjoyed. It doesn't look familiar to me, what I can see in the photo.

So glad you are enjoying Florida and family!!
