Happy Birthday!

Yesterday I told you about my uncles funeral which was on Friday.  On Saturday we had another family event.  This was a birthday party for my Mom's sister-in-law.  My Mom also came from a big family; there were 9 kids in her family.  All of the kids have passed away, and there are only 3 of the in-laws still living.  This aunt is the oldest and just turned 95!  She is still in good health and lives by herself, in her own house.  I know she has been, and still is a blessing to many people in her life. 
This party was a surprise for her, and she was even surprised by her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter who flew in from California to be at the party.
She lives in Cadillac, Michigan which is about 2 hours north of me.  My Dad, step-mom, sister Terri and I drove up on Saturday morning. It took us quite a bit longer to get there than we expected, because we ran into a lot of road construction but we made it with no other difficulties.

It was a beautiful day for an outside party, and you can see there were lots of people there.

This cute area was set up for cards and gifts.  I love the red chandelier hanging above the table.

There were some old pictures floating around, which were very fun to look at.  This was from a reunion in 1958.

Here are the 3 remaining in-laws from my Moms family.  My Uncle John on the left is 87, Aunt Marion is 95 and my Dad is 85.  I think they all look great, but Aunt Marion looks amazing.  You would never know she is 95!

"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who 

will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I 

will sustain you and I will rescue you."
