Paul's mom turned 70 yesterday! We haven't seen her much the past three months due to her "quarantine" to try to avoid another trip to the ICU while her immune system is weak due to chemo. We're hoping that the chemo treatment two weeks from now will be her last. Since they haven't seen Grandma very much lately, they were REALLY excited about celebrating her birthday with her. On Thursday morning en route to our Terrific Turkey program at the state park, we stopped at two stores so the kids could buy her birthday gifts with their own money. They bought her flowers (they wanted to get her roses, but I explained they didn't have enough money for those), candy, and a balloon. Yesterday morning they each made her a birthday card.
Paul got home from work at 2:45 (he came home earlier than usual in light of her party), and we left as soon as he got home. The kids had time to play before eating some yummy pizza with their grandparents, Uncle Al, and their cousin, Shawn. After playing some more, Aunt Millie arrived with one of her delicious cakes. The pictures below are of Oliver helping Grandma unwrap a gift and the kids helping Grandma blow out the candles on her cake. We all love her SO much, and we are thankful that her health has been better the past two months. Hopefully starting next month we'll be able to go back to seeing them more regularly!
