Happy 90th Birthday Betty!

 
I was so thankful to be able to be in Michigan the first weekend in August as the majority of my mom's family made the journey to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday!  That's right...90 wonderful years and she has one amazing family to show for it.  Betty Rickman is the mother of five children, the grandmother of 18, and the great-grandmother of 18 as well.  It had been 10 years since we had all gathered together.  We all had so much fun catching up and seeing how everyone's families have grown!  I think most of us would agree that we should not wait another 10 years to get together again.

Here's to you, Betty!  We love you!

 This was one moment I am glad that I was able to capture in a video!

The day after the birthday party, we had a big family gahtering and barbecue at my Aunt Nancy's house in Romeo, MI.
