Happy 91st Birthday Great Grandma!

We had a wonderful time celebrating the Fourth of July and my Grandma's 91st Birthday. It is nice that it is always on a day off for everyone and my mom always puts out a great spread of food! Salad and Berries!

Meat and bread and the traditional pot stickers! HA! We also had Deep fried Turkey. It was good and juicy. We ended up eating a little bit later then planned due to the size of the huge turkey but all was fine and we were able to visit and enjoy more!

Clark and Savannah swimming and having a good time during the party.

After swimming someone decided to become a PIRATE!! She loves the pirate ship that I got for Grandma and Papa's but she also is probably the only 3 year old that has watched all the Pirate of the Caribbean movies multiple times. She knows all about Jack Sparrow and loves the ride at Disneyland too.

Grandma with her gift I designed. I had everyone do their hand print in birth/spouse order and it goes as follows:

Ray, Mom, Dad

Ron, Kris, Kristina, Clark

Michael, Tina, Scott , Catalina

Kyle, Rebecca, Savannah, Joseph

We had my Grandma do her hand in white paint over the stars so she too could be included. Michael and Scott were not able to come to the party so I made them come over to my mom's and stamp their hands out. I'm not sure what my Grandma will do with the canvas but I hope that someday some of the kids will fight over this family project! I think she will enjoy looking at everyone's hand print and if it makes her smile at least once it was worth it. Another thing we found interesting is the family similarities.

My Grandma's hand.....with all the work and scars her life has brought.

Savannah and Grandma get ready to blow out your candles. It was a yummy carrot cake with apricot mousse filling.

All of us are done and ready to give her the gift.....
