On January 18th we celebrated Christmas with my mom's side and also had a 90th birthday cake for my Grandpa. This fall, Grandma moved from her farmhouse to a condo in town (this only puts her about 5 minutes away from Grandpa's nursing home vs. 20 minutes - which she would drive each way twice a day). Her new place is plenty big and I'm sure would have fit us all in but, the place has this big community room which we used for our get-together.
The adults all play a Rob Your Neighbor game for our $10 gifts but Grandma & Grandpa buy the little ones their presents. Grandma sent the parents a check to go buy something they would want and then we wrapped it and the kids were able to open it at the gathering so Grandma could see what she "got" them. Bennett got a case of Lego's and Ashley got some Frozen pjs.

After lunch and gifts at Grandma's, we went to Grandpa's nursing home to have birthday cake with him. We grabbed a few family pictures quick but there were a few people that had already left by this time so this isn't the full group....missing about 7 people.
Some of these Great-Grandkids were not digging this picture thing! These are my kids, Laura's, Jennifer's and Mike's.
Brenda, Jeff, Russ, Julie, Julie, Mary (missing Donna since she had already left)
