WEH's 80th Birthday Party (1/25/25) in STT ~
¡SURPRISE!
¡Überraschung!
It’s Party Time!!!
Agatha Alexander had the honor of placing his birthday hat (that he 1st wore at his pre-bday celebration in ATL) on his head! He had an assist from Eurita Austin!!
Let’s sing to him!!!!
It’s time to sit on his lap!!!
IAPH continued to tell one of the wives to sit on her spouse’s lap. Well, jokes on her, she was told, “You telling her to do it, why don’t you have WEH sit on yours!” So said, so done!!
Let’s get this party started right!
Ingrid, the love of his life, took her rightful place to start the celebration! She had Agatha Alexander, of Dominica, to pray the opening prayer!!
We LOVE to celebrate our friends, even during our special celebrations!
WEH & IAPH did the same thing during their
50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration in ATL on Friday, July 21, 2023.
Back then, we celebrated Dana Hutchinson's (D-i-L’s) birthday,
which was the same night of the anniversary celebration
and Shabundi & Ivette’s Anniversary (July 25)!!
This time, we celebrated another couple’s anniversary,
Bro. Willie & Sis. Gloria’s anniversary (1/15)
and Tacorri's birthday, which was on 1/26,
the day after WEH’s!! It’s a CELEBRATION!
Bro. Willie and Sis. Gloria are the two being hugged by IAPH!!
(It was a miracle she was able to attend!)
WEH & Tacorri, the Aquariuses, celebrating on Saturday & Sunday!!
(Tacorri blessing the mic, with “Is This Love” by Bob Marley!)
The MAIN table.
Cabbage, Corn, stew Chicken, honey glazed Salmon, curry Chicken, and three different types of Rice (l to r).
[NOT shown in videos were the Ginger Beer (not an alcoholic beverage, but an island one),
Passion Fruit, and Pumpkin drinks!!!]
The 2NDARY table.
Salad w/ croutons and either Vidalia Onion or Thousand Island dressing, Johnny Cakes, spinach Pates, different varieties of Quiche, Salt Fish cakes, Chick Pea falafels, Sour Sop bread, Banana bread, Apple pie, Pound cake, and Carrot cake.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here, lol!!!
Eurita A. was honored to read her Bishop WEH’s cards to everyone! (Sis. Bernadine L. read parts of her card to him.)
Some of his guests made special remarks, and his daughter, Claudia C-S., passed out the coaster guest gifts!! Bishop Dr. Carswell Leonard prayed the closing prayer!!!
(“You don't have to go home but you can't stay here” is from the song Closing Time by Semisonic)

The menu includes curry goat, honey-baked salmon, peas & rice, lasagna, green bean casserole, and salad—a well-rounded lunch!
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!!!

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!
