Happy Birthday, GG!

Chris' Grandma, Sabina, turned 75 last year. Her husband and children made the entire year a celebration for her - each month they would get together and do something with just the 6 of them. It was so sweet! One month they went out to get pedicures, and even Grandpa and Uncle Lynn got their toes done. They're a fun bunch :)

The crowning glory though, was a get together with the entire family (with the exception of Samantha and her hubby who got stuck in Germany at the last minute! We missed them!) We took family photos, had a big dinner, and celebrated this amazing woman. She is such a firecracker, but you'd never expect it from her calm voice and demure appearance. When she challenges you to a game of strip poker or talks about "needing a good murder" (murder mystery style, she hasn't actually killed anyone...I think) it totally takes you by surprise. At least until you know her better ;) Sleepovers with Grandma involved learning how to gamble with pennies, and Chris was forever scared out of bedwetting because she once told him offhand, "Big boys don't wet the bed, especially not at Grandma's house". I am especially grateful for that last one ;) We love you, GG!

Here are just a couple of the photos I have copies of. They turned out beautifully!

Our family (duh) - Hunter's even in there too! I felt super pregnant but obviously didn't look it. Haha.
