Our grandma (really Matt's, but I consider her mine too!) had her 80th birthday this past week and we celebrated it with a surprise brunch at a fun restaurant! This picture is of her walking in to us singing happy birthday.
These kids are her great grand kids (4 out of 10 and the 11th on the way) patiently waiting for her arrival outside the restaurant.
Many moons ago, I was privileged to be able to get to know this wonderful lady. She's so thoughtful, caring, and good hearted. Everyone knows that when a crisis happens to call grandma and she'll start the prayer chain. When a new baby is born, she'll be the one to let everyone know. If you call her and tell her you're craving something for dinner, it will be on the menu on family dinner night. She makes my own grandma's red dill potatoes for me because she knows I love them and they remind me of my grandma. She makes me white cake for dessert because she knows I don't like chocolate. She and grandpa have created a legacy that is truly special that I can only hope to leave for my own children and that is that God, family, and friends who are like family are the most important things in this life and not the "stuff" that our generation "thinks" are so important. I'm so blessed to be a part of her life and to have learned so many things from her. I love you grandma!
