Grandma's Party

 

We celebrated Grandma Edith's birthday in July. Doesn't she make 80 look great?!

Quite a bit of time went into planning the party and it all turned out just perfect. The weather was great, the shelter was nice and nearly all of the family was able to get back and spend the day with Gram.

In addition to the family party, I put an ad in the paper for a card shower. By the time of the party, she had nearly 40 cards and I imagine there were more trickling in the following week.

Mila did pretty well during the quick trip home, but she was cutting teeth and had a few rough moments. She did alright with the crowd, but she sure gave Gram a hard time. She definitely does better when there are fewer people around.

Grandpa Dave with Mila. He stole her heart by letting her play with his cell phone.
She's still a sucker for technology!

Cousins meeting for the first time. Briley Jo is the newest addition and
Mila fell in love with her photo before she even met her in person!

Grandma with her grandkids and their spouses.

Great grandma and crew.
