Grandma's 80th Birthday Celebration






We traveled to Florida for a quick visit this past weekend to celebrate David's Grandma's 80th birthday. It was a surprise party, and all of her children and grandchildren were able to be there.

We waited as a group until Grandma arrived.



Aunt Sue said, "You have something on your shirt Uncle Rick," and we all had a good laugh!



Grandma has six children, five girls and one boy and 16 grandchildren ranging in age from 18 to 31.





Her birthday is actually Sept. 27, but our party was the day before, and she thought she was going shopping and to dinner with a couple of her children and grandchildren. She had no idea what was about to happen.

We're all hiding outside in the backyard waiting for her to make her way to the back door.



She's starting to notice all of us as we're saying, "Surprise!"



She had no idea we were all there waiting to wish her a Happy Birthday!

We had some delicious food, including yummy appetizers, ribs, beef brisket, homemade potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens.



Before we left, Cash was curious about our suitcase.



We had two smooth flights, only one hour and ten minutes each. It was a great Florida visit, but we're happy to be home with our highs in the 70s (not the 90s) and lows in the 40s later this week.

Happy 80th Birthday Grandma! We love you!
