Grandma's birthday celebration

The grandkids decided to have a surprise birthday party for Grandma, a week before her birthday, since we were all going to be together for Easter. So in the midst of our Easter celebrations, the kids (by this I mostly mean Rachel, Evelyn and Josee) secretly got busy.

Evelyn volunteered to be in charge of the cake. If we counted right, she went through 3 jars of frosting.  Jared helped her a little, but overall, awesome job for Evelyn.

 Rachel was in charge of the decorations and boy did we have a lot. Balloons and streamers everywhere as well as a birthday banner. They streamered the hallway so that Grandma had to bust through the streamers as if she were the quarterback of the football team running onto the field during the homecoming game. And of course, we had to do yellow which is Grandma's favorite color.
 Josee had already been working on her part, the scrapbook, for a few weeks. Then she, with a little help from Evelyn and Rachel, finished it. Of course, Grandma loved looking at every single picture.
 Lizzie and Brady did their part, eating the yummy birthday cake.
Oh happy day. Grandma loved it all and was completely surprised since we crammed it all in on the same weekend as Easter.
