yes…my grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday last weekend.
90?!
i think that is so cool.
the whole family came to a brunch in her honor.
everyone.
she was so happy to see them all…it's been awhile for some of us.
she even had us introduce ourselves.
scott said his name was michael jordan…but cracked up before he finished.
we're working on his comedic timing.
i got to catch up with some family i haven't seen since they were kids…now they have kids!
i gave lauren the camera…she was in charge of all the photos.
i think she got everyone in at least one of the pictures.
she is a good photographer and like most good ones…she gravitated towards the cutest model.
not ME…Nolan!
this was my first time meeting Nolan.
i fell instantly in love and couldn't stop smelling his head.
he is a chunky drooly baby and i desperately wanted to keep him.
brian is Nolan's daddy.
he is my cousin…i see him about once a year…maybe.
i like him.
i miss him.
and i really wish i could spend lots of time with his beautiful wife julie…she is so sweet!
we never get enough time to talk.
brian could not have found a better wife.
he was covered in kisses from the whole family.
grandma opened her gifts & cards.
the 90 sweatshirt was pretty funny.
it had to be a sweatshirt because she's always cold.
at my house she freezes!
happy birthday grandma O.
i love you.
your party was lovely. (good job mom!)

gina entz - I’m jealous. Wish my grandparents were still here. I’ve been thinking about them a lot lately. The party looks like so much fun. Treasure each moment with her and ask her LOTS of questions about EVERYTHING. I wish I would have done more of that. Happy birthday to your sweet Grandma.
Starnes Fam - I love the 90 shirt!!!!! Super cute. What a party.

What a treasure for your lovely family.
I am working on nursing school and am currently a CNA at a nursing and rehab facility and I LOVE these older folks, I think they are such treasures. They are just full of history – if you bother to listen. Thank you for sharing her with us! It made my night!
pve - 90 must be the new 50, cause she looks awesome!
Happy Birthday to your Grandma!

Joy - Happy 90th Birthday Grandma O. Isn’t it great to have that gene?! What a great celebration, one she will treasure.

Blessings,
Lorilee
Trish - super cute sweatshirt 🙂
Elma Riedstra - O.K!!!!! I will for sure take NOLAN!!!!! He is soooooo cute you could just eat him:) Grandma look beautiful!! I hope she had a wonderful day!!!
Flower Patch Farmgirl - OK, for some reason when I first read this I thought Scott was your husband, and I was picturing him introducing himself as Michael Jordan! The story is funny on its own, but that made it even funnier… 🙂
90. Wonder what life will be like when I’m 90? I can only hope that I’m rocking one of your sweatshirts and attending a brunch in my honor.
Whitni - I am SO jealous of her 90 sweatshirt. We could share it! She can wear it because she is 90 and I’ll wear it because I was born in 1990! Think she’d go for that?
