90th Birthday Celebration 9.3.11

Wow... where do I begin! Talk about a family full of love! The plan was to have everybody in place for a surprise entrance of Louvenia Dickson, mother of the family. Once the surprise was over and everyone got their share of hugs, the rest of the night was all about reliving memories. One by one, family members stood up and talked about how Louvenia was such an inspiration to them. Not one person could make it through their speech with a dry eye.


After all the speeches were made and dinner was served, everyone gathered together for a musical performance and picture slideshow. I loved hearing about all the nicknames, stories and most of all, the hugs and tears!

Louvenia was given a money tree (a large sum of money given by friends and family members), a huge cake (one that could pass for a wedding) and a big ole plaque full of pictures.

I wish everyone celebrated birthdays like this. After all, the most important part of a persons life should always be their family.



This celebration was held at the Holiday Inn of Myrtle Beach, SC.
