Grannybirds Birthday Celebration

On Monday we celebrated Grannybirds 85th Birthday. We all got together at Richard and Angie's house for dinner and the birthday bash. I think that everyone that lives in town was there....plus Carol and Walt arranged their schedule to be there also. Just look how good the bird looks for 85!!!
It's always so much fun to have your great grandchildren help to make sure all the candles get blown out!

Grannybird got lots of fun presents from everyone....and cute cards....I think cards are her favorite! I know she spent the whole next day reading every card again and again. Lots of her great grandchildren gave her $1.oo bills in their cards which are reminiscent of her childhood. Brooklyn made her a special artwork card and Jordan gave her one he made special at work.....
The surprise gift from all of us was a special book that Amy orchestrated....Everyone contribute to it with pictures, writings, and sayings. I think I can say it was the highlight for Grannybird...I think partly because she is still amazed at what modern technology can do....but mostly because it represents years of our family together. Days after the party Grannybird was still in disbelief and claims this was the best day of her life!!







Just being together with family makes any celebration that much more fun. It was so fun to have Carol and Walt here for the day....She got us all together earlier in the day for a sibling lunch at Cheesecake Factory.
