Savannah's Surprise Birthday Party. 12.24.2000

Bruce, Wisconsin

The Dearhamer Christmas Party wasn't until Christmas Day, 12.25, so we planned a surprise birthday party at Grandma Anita's.

Bridget and Savannah wasn't going to arrive until about 8:30pm, so we had plenty of time to put up some ribbons and hide before she arrived.

It was also the dearhamer tradition to gather and have the annual Dearhamer Christmas Eve Oyster Stew.

Attendees include Grandpa Doug and Grandma Anita, Dougie, Bridget, Andy, Tracy, Josh, Vickie, Rickey, Chris and Tina.
The children were there for the festivities as well - Savannah, Jerry, Brittney, Dezi, Faith and Marissa.


 
 
 
 


The Dearhamer Christmas Tree. Always filled with presents galore.
 
I picked Grandma Billie from her home to Dearhamer Hill, the site of the surprise birthday party for Savannah, as well as the annual oyster stew.

Grandma cooked on while Doug watched.
Supposedly Dougie used to help cook the oyster stew, but it's been a few years since he's in charge of the cooking... not anymore - he is seen here preparing the milk soup base for the stew...
... while Andy watches on.
Brittney having fun on the computer.
The entrance. I decorated it with ribbons and the table was all filed with munchies and party games... I really didn't think that Savannah would figure the "surprise" out... Bridget had called minutes before arriving, so we all hid and turned off the lights...

But of course... smart as Savannah was, she walked in and noticed the ribbons immediately - and whispered "Thank you" in Bridget's ears even before we all jumped out and shouted "Surprise!"...

Savannah is the real schlau girl.
Savannah immediately spots her kitty, City Cat, and plays with him... not sure if CC enjoys it or not... ;P
Tracy and Brittney being shy...
While Dezi isn't bashful at all - showing off her new braces.
The bathroom was officially reserved for Grandma Nita.
