Biscoff Cookie Crumble Pound Cake (decorated w/ fresh Blueberries, Strawberries, and Mint) was made by Nadia (Goddaughter/Foster Daughter, who has the same birth month as WEH. Hers is the 6th, and he is the 25th. WEH's guitar is a perfect background picture for it!!!
DaVH holding WEH's 1st love, his guitar (inside family joke), while WEH cuts his pre-celebration birthday cake.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from our family to yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Dana, who came over after everyone left, is missing in the picture!)
Gathering in the bed for one last photo with the "BELIEVE" t-shirts,
including Dana!
Ending the different versions of the birthday song to the pre-birthday celebrant
& going right into the cake cutting and serving!
Who will get the 1st piece, Whitbourne, Jr. (as we call Otoniel – his last grandson)
or his beloved (his wife), Ingrid? You'll have to watch to find out!!!
The first time, he was awoken (by her) from his slumber in his room,
& the second time, he came into the bedroom and realized who had woken him up.
Closing out the festivities by going on FB Live and expressing our
"Living in Thanksgiving" to God for allowing us to see the New Year
and for WEH to make it to the month of his 80th birthday!!
WEH called him the incorrect name. When the correction was made,
"RIGHT"/"Rizz" realized he was talking to him and was in
TOTAL SHOCK and DISBELIEF!!
Jass asked him to show off his self-taught guitar skills!
Video clip of #6: Cinematic Moment of video #6 (to the right)!
She was shy all night, but everything changed when that guitar came out!
(When her Mom, Jass, asked him to show off
his self-taught guitar skills,
she laid her head down and
listened intently to him playing!)
She didn't let go of those two spoons
she collected, though, lol!!
We started singing our REMIXED version of the "Peanut Butter & Jelly" song
by the Truthettes, which merged into singing different versions
of the birthday song to the pre-birthday celebrant!

ViettaAnn took her place as the 1st child to start the celebration off!
He finished his 1st plate and is going for 2nds!!
Most of us think it wasn't the fork that made his plate dry like a desert!
