My (Amy's) grandmother turns 80 on July 8th. She is a pretty hard one to surprise, so we decided to throw her Birthday Bash this past weekend, a month early, to make sure she didn't find out! Her 4 children and their spouses, 8 of her 9 grandchildren and their spouses, and her 2 (almost 3) great-grandsons were all there! This is the first time we've all (almost all, we missed you, Megan!) have been together in at least 2 years...although it may be closer to 5 years...I can't remember.
After 2 rainy days, the sun broke through and we had beautiful weather for a cookout.
The surprise - As Grandmommie turned the corner into the backyard, she saw her motley crew on the deck!
Josiah & Addason (second cousins) showing their grandfathers how to dig...
There were plenty of cornhole matchups...some got a little competitive!
Addason & Josiah quickly bonded over trucks
Look at this sweet boy with his Grandaddy
Great-Grandmommie and her 2 great-grandsons...shockingly, we couldn't get 2 toddlers to pose at the same time for a picture. Oh well...
Happy Birthday to You!
A parting prego shot...maybe the last picture of the two of us before baby boy #2 arrives!
It was a fabulous afternoon, great time with family, and a fun party. Thanks for giving us a reason to celebrate, Grandmommie!
