Ninety!

The week before Halloween, KK and I took a little trip to the midwest because we had a very special event to celebrate...Great-grandma's 90th birthday! It was an honor for both KK and I to be there to enjoy her day, and to watch her bask in all of the birthday attention.
She is quite a lady.

The Birthday Girl

Four Generations One of the more special moments from the trip was KK and I styling Great-grandma's hair for her party. She was so happy with it, when she got tired just before the party she refused to take a nap. Instead, she sat dozing in her chair holding her head up with her hand so she wouldn't "mess it up." KK got a special gift from Great-grandma - a pretty doll to bring home. A mere blog post could never capture the personality and character of this amazing woman. I can only hope that when I am 90, I am still spunky enough to wear jammies like this! After a few days with Great-grandma, we headed to Minneapolis. We got to meet a very special girl, and the most recent addition to our family...meet Ruby - Uncle Rod's & Auntie Shawna's new puppy! KK loved to play with her, and Ruby was so good and tolerant. She wasn't quite sure of Grandma's halloween decorations though.


Of course there was a lot of playing and spoiling that occured, as always. Both KK and I felt like princesses in the new room (my old room) that Grandma remodeled and redecorated. Uncle Rod and KK playing with the dollhouse Grandma kept from her childhood.
Having fun with Auntie Shawna.KK missed the day that the firetruck visited her preschool, so we went to the firestation a few blocks from Grandma's and Grandpa's house for a visit. She thought it was the coolest thing ever! Checking out Grandma's witch with Grandpa (she was fascinated).
Visiting Grandma's office.
Fall in Minnesota = LEAVES! My camera battery died before the trip was over, so we missed pictures with Auntie Sunshine and Mac...and we didn't even get to see JBoy this trip. We'll catch him on the next one, and hopefully it will be soon!
