Jason's Birthday: The Anderson Celebration

The first stop in Jason's month-long birthday tour was this weekend in Anderson. He had a wonderful weekend - great friends, awesome memories, and time with people who always make us feel loved and special. The highlight of our weekend was when we went to Matty's Downtown for supper on Friday night, and a trombonist serenaded him with an awesome, jazzed up version of Happy Birthday, which you can see a picture of below. What a perfect way for a music guy to celebrate his 30th!


Opening the first OF THIRTY gifts from the Edwards family, proclaiming the weekend "King Jason Weekend!"

We are looking forward to being "stop #2" on the birthday tour.
Gotta ask - what is that puzzle that is so intriguing?

I can answer that question Mom: it is a "painting" of Cinderella's castle.

H and J~So loved having you here and I am so glad that the puzzle is finished...finally I will have what little floor space there is back!
