Happy 90th Birthday, Great-Grandma!!!

What could I ever say to describe this day, to do it justice? What a fun, memorable celebration of our ever-lovin' Mom/Grandma/Great-Grandma!!! It was a day full of happiness and laughter and tears and memories and LOVE.

Here's Grammy with her cake and 90 CANDLES!


And here's her ingenious way of blowing ALL of them out!



Here are some of her Great-Grandkids presenting her with their gift...

...a book entitled "My Grandma is 'Great' because..." filled with their pictures, pictures of them with her, and their favorite things about her.

The kids kept busy...Aunt Sue supplied them with a booklet of "Grammy Games" filled with crossword puzzles and word searches filled with family names and lakehouse fun. Seth told me that he's keeping his forever. :)
Dave's brother, Mark, made a slideshow filled with pictures of her life, starting with her wedding day through all kinds of treasured family moments.

Here's a brief clip, to give you a taste of what Mark did. It was wonderful! Watching all of it, I couldn't help remembering Great-Grandpa's words as he looked around at his children and grandchildren, "Look around, Ma. Look at what we started!"


Here's part of what Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa started, their son Dennis' family.

We love you, Grammy!
