Today is the Birthday of Joni Lee

Joni had a big day. We gave her our gifts when she got up. I decorated her cupcakes - got the house straightened up - the morning passed quickly & it was time for the party. Her invited guests were Debbie Deskin, Karen & Kathy Grandia, Pam Ratcliff, Kathy Lanham, Joanne Mottet, Vicki Badger. Vicki brought her sister, Lori. We had Bev & Delores over to help with games & with Jill. We had 12 girls. She got many nice things. The weather turned out nice so they were able to play games outside. After the party I took her to Olan Mills & had her picture taken. We went to Root Beer stand for supper. Ron's folks & Mary Ann & Barron came out & brought her gift in evening. I put buttonholes & buttons on her robe & gave it to her before she went to bed.
