Grandma's Birthday

It has been such a pleasure having my grandmother live with my parents, especially now that I'm a mother. We've been able to have 4 generations in one room many times, and I've grown to see her in a new way; she raised 4 kids, including one with Down's Syndrome, and has always been incredibly strong and energetic.  We got to celebrate her birthday recently.  Even at the ripe old age of 98, she still doesn't take any medication.  She doesn't have as much pep in her step as she used to, but she was very happy to celebrate her birthday with her family.  Kyle and his fam recorded a video singing Happy Birthday, which we all watched together.  That was followed up by one of her favorite songs, "Dancing Cheek to Cheek."  Here's to at least 2 more years until we get to the magical century mark!
