Two Special Occasions

We've had two big events in our fam recently. First of all, my neice got blessed. She is so cute, I just love her. It is so fun to finally have a neice after 5 nephews, although I absolutely adore my nephews. Here's a few pics from the lunch afterwards.

All the gals in our family

My Mom and Christiana

The other huge event was my Grandma's 80th Birthday! I have always been so close to my Grandma so this was a blast. It was a TOTAL surprise! She had no idea, which made it so fun. My Uncle even flew in from Arizona. All my fam was there except my brother Jeff. We missed you Jeffy! Oh and Mike wasn't there because it was deer hunting weekend (BOO, don't get me started) Anyway, we had a great time and I think my Grandma loved it. She said she NEVER thought she would live until she was 80. I just hope I can be as hip and healthy as she is when I'm 80.


RD had to pretend he was taking her to lunch and we were all waiting at Maddox!



This is all the "originals" (no spouses or kids) at Maddox.

We made this book at shutterfly.com. I was put in charge of this and I absolutely loved how it turned out. We got EVERYONE to make their own page of memories right down to the great-grandkids. It was awesome and I think she loved it!

Here's her cake!

It's always so fun to get together with the fam! I love you all!
