90th Celebration

My Grandma turned 90 years old on October 1st and we had a surprise birthday party for her on October 9th. My Grandma (my Mom's Mom) is an amazing example. I have learned much from my Grandma. I could write many great things and memories, but because of lack of time I am only going to write a few and then share a few pictures from her 90th surprise party. My Grandma escaped with her 4 young children (including my mother) from Germany and came to America by herself in the late 1950's. It's a great story, but I am not going to share it now. My Grandma is such a hard worker and always has been. My Grandma still works in her Garden which is no easy task if you have been to her house and can still even drive a car. My Grandma is one of the most giving people that I know and is always sacrificing for others. Every time I go and visit my Grandma she always has to give me something. My grandma has basically nothing, but you won't leave her house empty-handed. I hope that I can be more like her in this regard. 

My Grandma was surprised to see everyone. The surprise party was at one of my Aunt's. My Grandma thought she was going to see a play at Hale Centre Theatre.

My Grandma excited to see family and some close friends.

After we ate we watched a slide show of pictures of my Grandma. My oldest brother Ryan put it all together after we gave him pictures that we wanted included in it. It was a ton of work for him and he did such a great job. It was fun to see the pictures of my Grandma from her younger days and then more recent ones that included good memories we shared together with her.
