Happy 80th Birthday Grandma!!


On February 27th, my cute grandma turned 80!! I hate that we have to get old!! It's so lame! Anyway, she was so cute about it. I guess when my dad told her about the party, she was so embarrassed and didn't want the attention. The week before, people were asking her about the party and congratulating her on making it to 80 at church and she couldn't figure out how everyone knew!! It was so cute to watch her see her friends and family. Her only living brother Terry, and his daughter, came up from St. George just to see her!! She was grinning from ear to ear. It was so great to see her so excited to see people! My deceased grandpa's sister also came. I have never met her, (and still didn't, just observed from a distance!!) but how fun that was to see her. I saw my grandpa in her and it was amazing. I can't even describe it, it felt like a little piece of him was there. After 17 years it feels like he passed away just yesterday. Anway, back to my grandma!! I asked her if she was having fun in the middle of it, and she said it was so great!! I just love her and think so highly of her. I hope that the next 80 years are just as great!! I love you grandma, Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Grandma! Love this post Annalee! For some reason it made me cry (maybe because I am pregnant and insanely hormonal) but I could see how much you truly love and respect your grandma. Just so touching
