We love Grandma. She started a tradition of having birthday dinners for every person when we all started coming out to college. Because of this, we thought that it would be appropriate to do a birthday dinner for her. She is so sweet and thoughtful. She makes each person feel very special on their birthday so we needed to do the same for her.
Angie (our party planner/37 weeks pregnant) made the arrangements and we figured out dinner. We wanted to do something that grandma never makes for dinner so we did pork and hominy soup, fruit platter, homemade corn bread( sooo yummy) and asparagus. Angie is an amazing cook. It turned out perfect!
While we prepared dinner, Vance and Grandma played out on the porch in the beautiful weather...
The dinner...
After dinner we decided to have a special surprise when we sang happy birthday. We had three computers on with Lynnie and her fam, Steph and her fam, and my mom and the boys on Skype. They could all see the excitement on Grandma's face. She had never heard of Skype. She was thrilled that the whole family could see each other and that she could see them. Her face was priceless!
We topped the night off with chatting around a couple pans of cinnamon rolls and whatever else was left over. Grandma was so happy and in her words, "That was a tender night and it will be a something that I will always remember." That is what I call a perfect birthday party :)
