Happy Birthday, Patty!

DJ's oldest sister, Patty celebrated her B-Day on August 18, just two days before Regan's B-Day.  We were able to go to Montpelier to the Nursing home where she lives to celebrate with some of DJ's family.  DJ's mom went to a lot of trouble to bring a yummy meal for all of us to enjoy out on the patio and thankfully the weather cooperated.  All the kids LOVE Aunt Patty as you can tell in the picture!!  She has the best sense of humor and can bring a smile to any one's face.  She's been through a lot in her life yet still keeps a positive out look and has a sense of humor about the many trials she's been through. The kids love when we get to stop at the nursing home to visit Patty--they love all of her fun talking stuffed animals, love all of her funny quotes and pictures on her walls, love her treat jar, love her funny sense of humor and love to take turns taking rides on her electric wheelchair!! 
The B-Day Girl, Patty!!  Some of my favorite things about Patty are:
* her quick wit
* her positive attitude
*her sense of humor
*her frequent phone calls
* her determination to not give up
*her concern for everyone around her
*her love for all the nieces and nephews
*her generosity
*her smile
....and the list could go on!  I love you Patty and hope you have a great year!

Seth said Patty was his primary teacher when he was little, and she was super duper nice. Tell her that her old student says "happy birthday". What a fun party!
