Grandma's 80th Birthday

Nick's Grandma turned 80 a couple weeks ago and we had a grand celebration for a beautiful and wonderful lady!



There were many people at the party and the highlight was the program.  Katie first came out dressed as Grandma and acted as the MC.  Many people couldn't figure out who it was!

Merrilee and Laurie dug out a bunch of Grandma's old dresses and there was a fashion show.




 Even her beautiful wedding dress made an appearance!


Jarrod and I sang "The Prayer" - so fun to sing with him!

But it was Rylan who stole the show - he and Jarrod sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow and You Are My Sunshine.  He did so great and loved being in front of everyone with a microphone - so proud of him!


Our little family!  As you can see, Kenzie's twins made it to the party too! :)


6 of 8 grandchildren were there with spouses and all 7(soon to be 8) of Grandma's great grandchildren were there.

Will the real Grandma please stand up.

It was fun to hang out afterward with cousins and kiddos - we all had a blast!

Then spouses added in - LOVE this group - I'm so lucky to have joined such an awesome family!

The outside photo went so well I suggested we try to get all the great grandchildren with Grandma.  They thought I was crazy, but with all the kids there, we had to try, not sure when the next time will be that this happens again.  Needless to say, it didn't go well.  Someone should have been videotaping because it was chaos. This picture was taken after one screaming child had already been taken out.  One screaming child remained and 2 others were trying to escape.  At one point Rylan and Grandma both had their fingers in their ears.  Hey, at least we tried right?!

The only 2 happy campers!

We love you so much Grandma!  Happy Birthday!
