Two twins were born in North Dakota in 1936 and today they celebrated their 80th birthday. About one hundred family and friends gathered to wish them a happy day. Good food, great conversations, swinging music and many memories were shared. Vases of colorful flowers decorated the room. Music provided by Prestige Music kept persons on the dance floor as they did the Chicken Dance, the Hokey Pokey, and some waltz', Latin, polka and slow dancing.
Family members had a wonderful program honoring the two ladies and a video of their lives was shown. It was fun seeing the two girls as they grew up and we learned that they were opposites; one liked to read while the other one liked to play. In the video we traveled with them through their lives, travels, marriages and families . I only know one twin because she is a member of my church.
Grandchildren played tunes on the piano for their grandmothers and a funny poem was read. The whole room buzzed with happy people and singing happy birthday to the two celebrants. I saw three priests in attendance, a deacon who enjoyed dancing, many relatives, and quite a few friends.
The twins were not dressed alike, but they were wearing one piece of jewelry that was alike. "This is the only thing we are wearing that is alike" one of the twins said as she pointed at the owl hanging around her neck. Below are some of the pictures taken at the beautiful and fun party!
A wonderful party, a beautiful family and a fun time at the party.
Happy Birthday to a lovely lady!
