My Grandma's 80th Birthday Celebration!

Ayla and I were able to go to California for my grandma's birthday.  My mother's family is so big that we rented a hall to celebrate in.  My grandma had 13 children and has about 35 grandchildren and I don't even know how many great grandchildren, but a lot.  I am so bummed that I did not get pictures of everybody.  I took pictures, but missed so many special people.  I really love my relatives.

My grandma loves Jesus and loves her family.  She always has her door open to those in need.  Never has she lived alone that I know of.  She always has family living in her home when they need a place to stay.  I should nominate her for a home make-over.  She deserves it for sure!  Even though we live the furthest away of all the relatives, she has made us feel special and loved along with everyone else.  I love my grandma!

My parents flew down with Ayla and I, and my sister and Shane flew back up with me.  It worked out quite well.  Ayla was a handful.  She asked about 40 times a day.."Ah Daddy?" (Where's daddy?), "Ah, Eyyie?" (Where's Ellie?) and couldn't say, but wondered where Sienna was too!  Since she was confused and because she is 20 months, she was quite fussy!  But I survived and it was sooo nice to be back home with my family.  They made a MOM sign and AYLA sign to hold up when we returned  to the airport.  I couldn't wait to see their smiling faces!
