This last weekend, we went to Arizona for my Grandma's 90th Surprise party! And it was sooo much fun. I have been planning it since November! My Grandma's favorite color is yellow... so the whole party was yellow. Yellow streamers, yellow balloons, yellow roses, yellow everywhere. All of the guests were even encouraged to wear yellow! It was a big hit! Grandma loved it. She even had quite a few family travel from out of state, including her daughter, Cookie. Kyle and I even made a movie of her life. That was so fun to watch with everyone. During the last month, I have been collecting emails from family and friends answering questions to give to Grandma that include; How has Grandma changed your life? What was a funny memory with Grandma? What was something Grandma did to bless your life? etc... Then I made a folder for all of the entrys and presented them to her! I made posters of a ton of inventions that happened in her first 30 years of life. Another poster of the many things that happened the year she was born. I also made a poster of the cost of random things in 1919. I had a ton of fun planning it. And everyone had fun there at the party. It will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life. My grandma has helped shape my life into the person I am today... and I can't say enough good about her. She has a heart of gold, and is truly my angel on earth.

On the phone with Blanche, right before the Birthday girl arrived!
We didn't want to startle my grandma with a huge yelling of "Surprise!". So, we all were hiding in the backyard when she arrived. She walked in and saw the decorations, and then one by one, we filed in singing softly, "Happy Birthday". All of the out of towners were the last to enter the room. So, here we are suprising her for the first time!
