Grandma Mattila's 90th Birthday

Grandma Mattila with her birthday crown and cake.
I had to "steal" this picture from Tim & Cody's blog
because our camera is dying & I didn't get a good picture.
(Sorry guys)
Eva & Berlin give a "cousin" hug.

Owen doing his part to decorate the tree.




All the "kids" have a stocking at Grandma's.





I don't know how many more we can fit on this mantel!

Eva & Lindsay decorating the tree.







Every year we go to the Mattila's to celebrate Barbara's birthday & set up & decorate the Christmas tree. This year JoEllen set the tree up ahead of time & put it in a different spot!!! We're messing with tradition here! But it did make the job go faster & gives us more room for this growing family, which will be bigger by two next year as we are expecting two more grandchildren this summer thanks to John & Heather and James & Amanda. (Yippee!)








This was a special birthday as Grandma turned 90 years old. She asked the caregiver in the morning, "Do you think I'll make it to 100?" That would be something!
