Lots of balloons!
And they all got tangled on the ride to Granny's place. Luckily, we had some smart women to handle the situation
Aunt Carol with Maggie and Kendall. All three ladies were excellent decorators.
Crystal - the cupcake queen!
Kendall and Maggie - such sweet girls!
Aaron's height came in handy...
... see?
Happy Birthday, Granny!

And again.
Maggie was letting me know where I should put the cupcake.

Yum!

What a great weekend of memories, laughter, and love!
Days later, Granny passed away. I am so thankful that her family was able to enjoy one last visit. This past weekend we said our goodbyes to Granny Louise. She was a beautiful, caring, and loving woman. She will be missed.
