Happy Birthday Grandma!

This year the 5th of Nov., was a busy, busy day. The kids came home and we had a special family dinner for Grandma before we each had to hurry off to our different activities. Grandma requested KFC fried chicken, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. I had to work at the haunted house and the boys went with Scott to a wedding. My sis-in-law Deanie had gotten married last summer, and her husband has family right here in Olathe. Aunt Deanie and Uncle Mike flew here from FL for the wedding and we hung out with them as much as we could. We gave grandma a snuggie for her 69th(!) birthday and enjoyed our family dinner.

 At our dinner we somehow ended up with balloon hats...and Grandma, not wanting to be left out, made her own pumpkin hat. I love it that we are silly, spontaneous and have fun as a family. Even Grandma joins in on the fun when she can...

I am very thankful for my mom and can't believe we just celebrated 69 years! She may have aged a lot in the past two years but her heart is young and spry. She fights for life every day and my birthday prayer for her this year is for her to regain her strength...so she can live the life she wants. I love you mom. Happy Birthday!

Here are the cutie pies all spiffy for the wedding. Aren't these boys handsome?
