Gram's Birthday

On August 25th Gram celebrated her 69th birthday. The Sunday before we went to Babes together to eat, and Gram got to wear the infamous chicken hat and be sung to. Since she threatened me with my life not to post a picture of that on the blog, I guess I will refrain from doing so. It was a fun night that was highlighted with the kids doing the hokie pokie! Bill was out of town the weekend after her birthday, so we celebrated with their family over Labor Day weekend. We just had Mexican food and a delicious bundt cake! Gram loved her gifts. We had given her a silver necklace on her birthday, and then we had our yearly grandchildren picture made for her. Kristen and I agreed that it was by far the easiest time we have had with getting this picture since we started this tradition in 2003. There is nothing easy about getting a good picture of a 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 year old at the same time, but we are definitely improving! Bill and Kristen gave Gram a University of Texas chip and dip bowl. She will enjoy flaunting that for her Aggie friends. Gram does so much for all of us and she is very loved. We are glad we were all able to celebrate together.
