Grandma's Surprise 88th Birthday

On Tuesday, one of our favorite LA cousins flew into town to surprise our Grandma for her 88th birthday.  So we (mainly my mother-in-law) quickly put together a surprise birthday party and headed over to her place to surprise her.  All of the munchkins were thrilled and couldn't wait to see her reaction.

She was completely surprised and had no idea the entire family was going to show up for her birthday!  She had heard it was possible our cousin was flying in, but no one had confirmed his plans so it was a total surprise.  Luckily, her place had lent us their party room for the surprise (we were doubtful all 16 of us would fit in her apartment), so after she put on some lipstick and threw on a cardigan, we headed back to the party room.  They were very sweet and decorated the tables with Easter bunnies and baskets full of eggs and even had fresh coffee brewing and an ice bucket.

Our Grandmother is the sweetest lady, and was sure to acknowledge each one of us as we sang Happy Birthday to her.  Afterwards, she opened presents and received the sweetest drawings from our nieces, Abby and Mary.  Then it was coffee and cake followed by silly moments and lots of laughter.

Happy 88th Birthday, Grandma!
