Grandma Great's 90th Birthday

Yesterday we journeyed to South Bend to celebrate my grandmother's 90th birthday. Here she is with Teresa.

We went to D&T's house before the party. George enjoyed pushing John around.

The kids stopped eating waffles just long enough for me to get a picture.


Jake always looks so serious.

Katie keeps an eye on George as he checks out the CAT toy.

Patrick found another toy.

AJ showed off his block building skills.

And Gabe just took it all in.

We had Mass on the porch at the Milton Home. It was kinda crowded but John, AJ and Gabe found a couch...

...with room left for Clara and Liam.

Miss Katie being herself.

Becca being herself too.

Father Eddy Shea, yet another cousin, said the Mass and invited the kids up to the alter for the consecration. They all help bless the bread and wine.


Erin enjoyed some food with Becca and Lucas.

Katie made some improvements to Patrick's looks.

There was a bird in the parlor that George found VERY interesting.

John being silly.

Liam shows me some of his moves.

Patrick asked me to take this picture, I really don't know what he's doing.

Dan and Lucas sharing some cake.

Here are 13 of the 16 great-grandchildren of the birthday girl: John, Erin, Katie & Jake Coffey, AJ, Gabe & Lucas Sullivan, Liam & Clara Venia, Patrick, Becca & George Hatton and Norah Estes. The Clark kids, the newest of which was born only a few weeks ago, opted to stay home with Mom but they were missed.

The are a good looking bunch of kids aren't they?

This is the banner that each kid's hand is traced on and decorated. Thanks for the picture Lauren.

A special thanks to Dick, Kate, and Joan for getting this party together. I know there was a lot of people, which can be hard when you're 90, but I'm glad we came.
