Scott's Grandma Lee had her 90th birthday party last week. We took the drive to St. Johns, AZ so we could celebrate with her. A lot of Scott's cousins were able to make it and it was fun to see/ meet a lot of them. Can I just tell you that Grandma Lee is one of my favorite people in the whole world. Things we love about her:
She always embraces us with a kiss.
She insists on cooking for us and insists on cleaning up the mess at her age.
She always plays little games with my kids.
They love her.
She loves to sing goofy little songs
She lets kids be kids, and shows them fun stuff to do at her house, like crawl through secret passage ways.
She loves the gospel.
She loves to tell jokes.
She has satellite tv, a cell phone, and the internet, and has no idea how to work them!
Everyone gravitates to her. She makes everyone around her happy.
Shooting Makenna with the party horn. They did this for a while. It was really funny!
The kids played some birthday games. This one had to do with answering a question right or you would get a little squirt. There's Jace again hanging with the girls!
I thought this pic was really cute of Jace
All of the "original" cousins that were there. A portion.
This was at the end of the day. The kids weren't having it. :)
There was a little program for grandma after the games. The Lee family represented, and we did a little skit and a song. I think the highlight was when everyone sang the song "Could I have this dance," which was Grandma Lee's song with her sweetheart, Grandpa Arlo Lee, who passed away a few years ago. It was very touching. Here are the lyrics to that sweet song...
I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

sounds like a fun time. She sure doesn't look 90...maybe 80, but not 90. Does she act as young as she looks? How fun for Makenna and Jace to have another Grandma that loves them. Nobody can have too many grandmas!!
That is so cute! I love that Grandma likes to play, that is awesome! Glad you guys had fun! :)
When are you coming here next???
