Tina and daughter Raquel, my granddaughter-i-law!

The big event of the weekend is Tina's birthday party at Larry and Tina's beautiful home outside of Las Vegas up on a hill with a spectacular view of the whole canyon. Tina is WW's friend from years ago, they reconnected when they moved to Nevada. Larry is SM's best friend. Erin and Heather went over early to help with the charcuterie.





                         Lots of pictures of Tina over the years...


Before the crowd got really large, we did get a family picture.

(L-R) Bassel, Erin, Zack, me, Jake, Manu, Jordan, Raquel.

and there was a background for photos...

Jake & Manu
 
In the courtyard, they had wood-fire pizzas being made ...


This was before the full crowd arrived. There were 60 invited to the party. I took a few pictures, but I missed so many more.

Dinner was served and everyone moved to the lawn & view.




It was a really lovely evening and tribute to Tina!
Happy, Happy Birthday, Tina!

Lovely blog, Jacki,

I have a new computer that doesn't recognize some things yet. But it's Carrol with two rs. I loved the video, and as we age this happens more frequently. But that's the way we are able to have grandchildren to delight us and hopefully keep the world going. Your family events are always so much fun to attend vicariously. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
