Happy 99th Birthday Great Mother!

Last Saturday we drove down to Bay Springs to visit my great grandmother and my kids great-great grandmother at the Nursing Home to celebrate her 99th Birthday. 99! Wow! We met my mom and Nona there. We ate cake that Mom made and sang Happy Birthday and dressed Great Mother up in a party hat and lei. Noah helped her open her presents and then we decorated her wheelchair with some birthday garland and had a parade through the halls. Noah was the leader and he made us all get in a single file line. He was marching in the front carrying a pinwheel that he was pumping up and down with his arm. It was classic- wish I could have videoed the moment. The child definitely knew what to do. We had a great time and will be back next year for the big 100 bash! Before we headed home, we stopped by Wards for a frosty mug root beer float. No visit to Bay Springs is complete without one!
