Great Grandma's 85th Birthday

Sorry for the delay in posting, but in the midst of packing up tons of yummy food to take home after the party, I left my camera at my parent's house and just got it back today!

My Grandma Kruse (my Dad's mom) celebrated her 85th birthday this past Saturday. My Mom and Dad volunteered their house and helped host a wonderful birthday party for her, with everyone bringing their favorite dishes to fill the table.


Here she is with her birthday cake which says
"Happy Birthday Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma."

Here she is with her 7 children: (Back row: Robert (my Dad), Mary, Peter, Margaret; Front row: Susan, Grandma, Janice, and Paul)

Here is a picture of Grandma with the Grandkids and Great-grandkids who made the trip. I believe the only ones missing are B.J. and his children, Matthew, Melissa, Shawn, and Anna.

Grandma and her sister (my Great Aunt Frannie) are taking a break from the festivities.

Here's a great picture of Melissa playing in the grass. It was so hot outside, but you would never have guessed it by how much fun she had!

Happy Birthday Grandma!
