90th Birthday Party

My Grandma turned 90 last Friday, July 10. We celebrated with family over the weekend. What a memorable day. My grandma is one of those people I strive to be like. She has a smart, yet common sense about her. She is always willing to lend a hand. She cares deeply. I wish I had more opportunities to just truly get to know her and discuss life! I hope we get to celebrate many more birthdays with her.

singing happy birthday

loved when we got to "happy birthday to" and the mix of names (mom, grandma, Ruthie)

a view of the party

she even prepared a speech!

a sweet moment between my grandma and her sister-in-law

this is two sister-in-laws and a niece (through marriage) from my dad's dad's family - her first husband. He passed away from a heart attack when my dad was 21.

Happy Birthday, Grandma!
