Grandma's 91st Birthday Celebration

This was an early birthday celebration for Mom, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Mother-in-law, Irene. She will celebrate her birthday later in the fall but many of us were able to get together on this beautiful day in September at her care center. This is just a warm up for what we hope will be a family reunion in 2010. By the way, she is mom to 11 children, grandmother to 31 and great grandmother to 24.

Here are eight of her children
From left to right; Carol, Russ, Carmel, Bob, Dick, Crystal, Jean, Helen (missing - Jim (deceased), Sheila, and Muriel.

It was a wonderful day. Many that were a part of the celebration went to Bob & Sue's house for more visiting, playing, and food. It was really fun to be together. We are hopeful we can get together next year.

If I "oopsed" on anyone's name, please let me know and I will edit the blog.
