Grandma's 90th Birthday!!!

The birthday girl!
I flew home for the weekend to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday with her. It was wonderful. The weekend was filled with lots of family time, good food, partying, and my favorite--late night slumber parties with my grandma. Since every bed in the house was full, I got to share the bed with her. We had fun chatting and were even told we were being too loud!

My uncle, Mark, chopping tomatoes for our yummy tacos!

Making decorative flowers for the party.

A birthday sign was made that said "Happy Birthday Queen." Each family member was assigned a letter from the saying to decorate. I was given letter T. My letter represents some of my grandma's interests and memories as well as memories I have made with her.

My dad's letter.

My Aunt Heidi and my dad.

This was one of my favorite things at the party. My Uncle Mark made this poster titled Ninety Years of Beautiful Women. For 1980, there's a picture of Madonna, for 1990 he attached a photo of Pamela Anderson, for 2000 he added a picture of Angelina Jolie, and for 2010 he enlarged a picture of my grandma!!! Is she a hottie or what?!?!


My cousins, Halley, Sherri, and Brittney and my cousin-in-law, Eddie.

Nice Shelby, nice!

I had a wonderful weekend with my family in California, however, I sure missed my boys and my hubby. Tennyson made this "welcome home" sign for me. He was very proud of it!
