Turns Five!
To Our Parents, Alberto and Idolina Garza, with a lot of love!
From your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
With love,
The Rodriguez, Garza, Rivera, Edwards,
Bravo, Marchan and Hernandez Families.
Kain Orion Followell celebrated his fifth birthday with a “Hot Wheels” birthday theme
on Dec. 31, 2008 at his home in Dickinson, Tex. Kain enjoyed ice cream, punch,
candies and a “Hot Wheels” cake with family and friends. The birthday group enjoyed
the party, especially all the fun that the “Big Birthday Cake Moon Jump” attraction
offered. Attending the party from Three Rivers were cousins Taylor and Brook Terry.
Kain is the son of David Brianne Followell and is the big brother to Kenadee. He is the
grandson of Rodney and June Robinson of Mercedes.
