My Grandma Mann turned 88 in the beginning of October and a few of us decided to throw her a big surprise party. We made it adult only since there are about a million kids under the age of 10, or at least it feels like it when we are all together. My mom and Bruce were in town and staying with the G-pas so we invited the 4 of them over for dinner on Friday night.
This is the absolutely gorgeous cake that my cousin Heidi made for the party.
This is the group of us waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to come downstairs where Jake had told them we were eating dinner because it was too hot upstairs.
These are my new favorite pictures ever. This is Grandma's reaction posted in the order the pictures were taken. It was a surprise for Grandpa too.
This is when Grandma noticed a few of her friends we were able to get a hold of that shocked her a little.
Grandma is leading us in Happy Birthday in this one.
She noticed a few others.
I love this one, this is where she saw my Aunt Jeannette and Uncle Brad who flew in from San Diego for the party.
Then the hug line started and all 50 of us went through the line.
This one is another one of my favorites of the night. It's just plain sweet.
I love this picture of my Uncle Jon, I think he looks so handsome.
Grandma's cousins.
Grandma's good friends.
I love this one too, that's my cousin Kenny with Grandma.
Heidi and the amazing cake she made, it seriously tasted as good as it looked.
How cute is my Grandma? It was a really fun night and during dessert some of the guests read poems they wrote for Grandma or said something special to her. I really do have the most amazing Grandma (and Grandpa) in the whole world and it was so nice to just celebrate her for a night. Having the whole family together was simply amazing and made me wish we could do it much more frequently. We love you a whole lot Grandma and hope you had a fabulous time at your party.
