What fun you will have. The last one we had was at my mother's 80th birthday. Since then we have lost several and I am so glad we did it. I second "Blessed Mom's Simple Home" in saying that the photos are a great way to go. I am so thankful for all the pictures that we have of Mom's b'day as she is now gone home to be with the Lord and so is her sister.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01390800085540275327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998853510690476491.post-3685478557646832692010-02-07T00:33:24.001-05:002010-02-07T00:33:24.001-05:00I bought one of those big folding display boards (...I bought one of those big folding display boards (like they use for science displays) and photocopied lots of old photos and displayed them on it for everyone to see. This was for my parent's 60th anniversary, but it would work for a reunion too. Ask people to scan and email some to you, or get copies. It ends up being kind of like a giant scrapbook.<br /><br />Btw, I made that mexican torte tonight. It was a hit! I made a meat version and for the vegetarian, I used that "fake" soy meat, and he loved it. Thanks so much, I'll be making this alot. It was easy too, I love that :-)<br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998853510690476491.post-87046288891585733572010-02-07T00:08:37.444-05:002010-02-07T00:08:37.444-05:00How wonderful!!!

We made lots of pictures of my dad with his remaining brothers and sisters. Since then, 4 of them have passed away including my dad. Out of 10 siblings, there are only 3 still alive and they are not in the best of health and unfortunately I seldom see them. Like Janie, I say take lots of pictures and maybe have a special tablecloth[s] for all to sign or leave messages on and most importantly, stay in touch.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ElizabethElizabeth-Plain and Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171271145283443680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998853510690476491.post-53536608895021211852010-02-06T20:25:01.800-05:002010-02-06T20:25:01.800-05:00Kelli~~~

I wish I could come! ;-)<br /><br />I would recommend that you have someone there to take pictures. Maybe not a professional, but someone to gather people or families for group shots, etc. and then all of you can get copies. I wish we had done that at my mom's 60th birthday party because it really was the last time all of us were together and sometimes you are just having too much fun to take pictures!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JanieBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
