90 Years Young



2.27.09 marked Granny's 90th Birthday. Not an easy feat, that is for sure!

We started the celebration with lunch at The Broadmoor:



After a long lunch, we took Granny home and we all moved onto the next phase of the birthday, which was a surprise party! We held it at a room in her retirement community. As a sidenote, when we were walking in a memorial service was just letting out and a ambulance was there taking away an old lady. Jack surveyed the scene, and out of his mouth came "I don't know about you guys, but does this seem weird?" Of course, Nik and I burst out laughing.



Much wine was shared, a pianist played us through dinner, The Sweet Adalein's came to serenade Granny, one of my aunt's read from Granny's baby book, and many stories were shared.

I think it's pretty amazing she is 90 and still living a large life. Granny was just in Vegas and danced the night away at one of my cousin's wedding. And for those of you at our wedding, she held center court there too!

Granny said the only thing she would have changed about last night was that she wished Unkie had been there...me too.
