Alice Sumner and Teresa Morales had a joint birthday party full of friends and fun at the YMCA on Friday. Sumner turned 93 while Morales turned 73.

They have each lived in Santa Clarita for over 20 years and were enthusiastic to see all the people come out for their special day.

“I’m lucky to see all the people,” said Morales.

“I have lots of friends, hundreds of friends,” said Sumner. “Just be happy and enjoy your whole life.”

Alice Sumner laughs as she tells a story of going down a water slide in the Bahamas. She was celebrating her 93rd birthday at the YMCA in Valencia on Friday, Jan. 19, 2018. “I have lots of friends, hundreds of friends,” she said prior to the story. “Just be happy and enjoy your whole life.” Nikolas Samuels/The Signal
