Mimi's 91st Birthday

We celebrated my grandmother's 91st birthday today with a small family get together at my parents' house (My husband couldn't attend since he was flying over the Atlantic Ocean on his way to London. He was greatly missed.). The little kids played so nicely together all day while all of the adults chatted and caught up. Since we don't see each other that often, it's so nice when we have the opportunity to spend time together.

We managed to take our annual "wagon picture." Next year there will be 5 kiddies in the wagon as my cousin and his wife are expecting. They shared the exciting news today when they gave my grandmother a picture frame containing a sonogram as a birthday gift. We are so excited for them!
When the sun was perched high in the sky, partially hidden behind some fluffy white clouds, a rainbow appeared. One of my cousins said that it was his mom (Aunt Karen) making the rainbow in the sky to let us know she was there. Shortly thereafter, the heavens opened up and it POURED!
At the end of the day, before everyone had to start their journeys home, we sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed some delicious birthday cake. It was such a nice family day!
