For the last 65 years May 24th has been my sister's birthday so this year my Mom & I flew to Kelowna to help Evelyn celebrate her birthday.
We started out with a family dinner on Saturday with (L to R) Lloyd & cousin Juliana from Port Quoquitlam, Ev & Ken, Aunt Mary & Uncle Paul Babiuk (Kelowna), me, Mom (Alberta) & Fern & Dan (Vernon & Alaska)(their unofficially adopted daughter!) .
Ev with her many gifts of flowers.Unbeknownst to her we also had another party planned later in the evening with about 30 friends!
When Ev, Mom & I arrived home from an orchestra performance with Jaime Jorge and the Fountainview Academy Master Class she walked into the house to a shout of SURPRISE! Ken had done a great job of co-ordinating all the arrivals while we were gone and she didn't have a clue! A neighbor even decorated. I think I had the easy task!
Everyone brought food and we had a fun time.
Mom & "the girls".

Wishing you many more fun-filled years dear sister. We sure did have fun! Now we get to catch up on our sleep!

You picked good pics to put on your blog. However, now everyone will know how old I am!!! Oh well, before all your & Ken's planning MANY of our friends did not know - - -. Thnx so much for a wonderful celebration and for bringing Mom. You worked hard and we laughed lots and yes I am trying to catch up on sleep and get my house ready for the next set of company starting Thurs! Love you.
