Happy Birthday Grandma!

As you saw in my last post, my Grandma turned 79 last Thursday. Now, being 79, she's kinda hard to 'pull one over' on. She sees it all, and she'll call you on it! ;) Since we wanted to celebrate with her, and thought it'd be fun to surprise her, we planned a small dinner for her. My uncle told her he was taking her to dinner at 5:30. To her surprise, 4 cars, carrying 4 adults and 5 kids pulled in her driveway at 5:15. We brought lasagna, salad, bread, and the kids and I baked her a cake...

And what is a party without some gifts?! I had framed a photo of my kids and I, and decided to let them pick out their own gifts for her as well. Random they were, but they were sweet, innocent, and definately made the birthday girl smile! Andrew chose a toy firetruck for her. In all of his 3 years of wisdom, he knew she would love to have a toy firetruck! He was right, she loved it. It came right from his little heart, and it made her day! Jordyn chose a necklace and 2 plates. She picked out 1 plate with flowers on it for her, and decided since Uncle Mark lives there also, she should get a striped plate as well, for him to use. Always thinkin, that girl! It was worth it just to see how proud they were to give their gifts to their great grandma. What a moment!

Here's Grandma, Jordyn and Drew showing Grandmas new necklace and plates!


Now Jordyn and cousin Dane showing Jordyns gifts again, as well as the firetruck Drew picked out.


Grandma, I hope we made this birthday a special one! We love you!!
