Catch up - Grandma's Birthday!

This little blog of mine
It takes up too much time

Too much time

I don't know what takes up all my time (ok, maybe it's a little 15 pounder that crawls all over the place) but this poor blog doesn't get much love anymore. The next few posts I'll try to do a catch up of our crazy December.
 So for MONTHS my mom was busy planning her mom's 80th birthday party. I helped by doing the graphics of the event!
 We started the day off with a session through the Salt Lake Temple. It was so great doing that with so many members of our family.
 We had these big canvases with images of grandma from each decade of her life thus far.
 As inspired by the all amazing pinterest, i took pictures of her life and created a six foot by six foot "80".
 We had a day of games and fun and then changed gears that evening for the formal event. Dinner and dancing (with dance cards! Remember those??)
We took the opportunity of being all together to take some family shots 

Mother-daughter love!
  
My mom planned this for so long and it was so great seeing how much she loves her mother. It was such a great day celebrating the life of my grandma!

Wow! love all the ideas! I actually made a giant 30 out of photos for our apartment wall when J turned 30! wasn't as cool as yours though.
