Surprise 80th Birthday Bash

My BFF's grandma is turning 80 in a few days and her family threw her a surprise birthday party this weekend, complete with family that flew in from California and Kansas! Since her family & my family are so intermingled, it was so much fun seeing everyone & celebrating! Tori's mom, Peggy, really did a wonderful job pulling this party off! We ate Olive Garden and had this super yummy cake from Rick's Bakery.


Tori's grandma, Dorcas, was sooo shocked when she walked into the room & we all shouted "SURPRISE!!!" She was litterally speechless!

She received some nice gifts & cards. This was a photo card with an old picture of herself on it~it was amazing! We all had to pass it around.

Peggy (Tori's mom & Dorcas' daughter-are you following me? haha) made this quilt for her. She had sent pieces to each family member and had each one decorate a square, then sewed them all together. It was a beautiful keepsake!

Here is Mason BEFORE he started running for 2 hours straight! He was so tired & red-faced but had a lot of fun. (I was tired & red-faced from chasing him & getting on to him!)

Here's Tori and little baby James, both looking great!

James was wearing a sweater vest-I'm very partial to tiny sweater vests! What a doll!!!

Out of town guests: Debbie & Logan, Nathan, Glenna & Paul and Teresa & Carrie.
