Thursday morning was here before we knew it. I got up and finished up Grandma's birthday present for turning 90 (90 Reasons We Love Grandma for her 90th Birthday). After Grandmas book was finished, Justin arrived and we all ate breakfast and helped mom finish up the cooking for lunch. Around 1:15, we drove over to the Parkers. This Thanksgiving was the "big" Thanksgiving which means everyone was there. The Parkers and all the spouses and the Hardys and all their spouses and of course Grandma. So we had A.Joan, U.Ed, Erin, Jonathan, Kaylee, Annabelle, Elissa, Sam, Emily, Mom, Dad, Jessica, Roy, Me & Justin. And all the dogs. : ) All we were missing was the Calhouns. Here are some family photos that we did: (It was my first time to use the tripod-oh I love that thing!)
Tried out making a collage on PSCS5- its alright- they will get better as I practice...
This one was me trying to figure out the timer- therefore funny pose : )
We all ate and ate and then celebrated Grandma's 90th. They decorated the table so cute!
I got the privilege of reading the 90 reasons to Grandma- granted there was a lot more than 90 and I wasn't going to sit and read them all so I choose a few from each granddaughter and her kids.
I cried, She cried, Mom cried, A.Joan cried, Dad cried....pretty much we all cried. After I read her 90 reasons, Grandma started telling us stories from when she was little kid. It had been around 30 minutes and she had only gotten to the 1930's- we still had a long way to go...so we listened some more and then Grandma got upset which got us all upset.
She was crying telling us about how happy she is that Grandpa & her had three kids who all married and raised christian children who all married christian spouses and how glorious it is that we will all be around the throne of the Lord together one day. At that point, everyone was crying so we transitioned into her present. Each one of the family got a charm for a Pandora bracelet we got her. Each family got a different charm to represent their family. It was so sweet and neat to watch as her empty bracelet filled with love.
After eating and celebrating Grandma's birthday we took some more photos,
hung out, played with Kaylee & Annabelle, watched football, ate some more and then headed home to watch the Aggie football game. WHOOP!! We all sat around and watched the game. YIPPIE!! GO AGGIES!! When the game was over, we all headed to bed because the guys were getting up early to go play golf on Friday morning.
