Grama's 75th Birthday!!!

On November 4th Grama Dianne turned 75 years young -- 
and we had a surprise party to celebrate!!

All of the grandkids waited in the main entry-way,
under the direction of Elise ....

..... while many other friends and family waited upstairs ......

It was THE BEST!!  Grama was truly surprised, and touched :)

Then came the fun part -- lots of gifts and even more laughs and hugs!!!

There were birthday crowns, and birthday treats --- and SO much love!!

We love our family, and Grama is at the center of it --
and even though Dad was not physically there with us,
we felt his presence and love too.
He is missed with each little or  big celebration, but not forgotten ....

Happy 75th Birthday, Mom!!  We love you so much :)
