A 90th Birthday Party

Julie's Grandmother (Mimi Kreiger, Lillian) turned 90 years young on Friday, November 26th.  So instead of singing Happy Birthday to her with our Pumpkin Pie on Thanksgiving, Julie's parents and aunt threw her a surprise birthday party the weekend before.  She was so surprised and we are grateful she didn't get overly excited (if you know what we mean).

We practiced the whole way down from Dallas, being quiet and saying "surprise!" Caleb LOVED it!
Mimi's faces are priceless

Mimi's children, Julie's Dad and Aunt
Kracker/Dadda was very busy entertaining the kiddos during the party-he came up with some of the best games (as always).
 
We couldn't have a 90th Birthday Party without some wheelchair races!!  Just kidding, this picture was taken after the party while we were cleaning up.  A little foreshadowing of what is to come...
The Whole Family
Mimi, Bob, and her 5 great grandchildren

Many people would comment at how much Julie resembles Mimi.  I pray to someday look half as good as she does at 90 years old! 
It was a lovely party with sweet friends, neighbors, family that all came to celebrate the wonderful woman Mimi is.
