Birthday Celebrations

This is an old picture, but it's Oma and Opa with Christopher last spring.

This weekend we celebrated my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. It was a very busy weekend with lots of activity, but it was a special one, too. There was family in town from as far away as Ottawa and Salt Lake City. We had a party for her on Saturday where she was the one that got to make out her guest list and then a special lunch on Sunday for her children and grandchildren and all their families. My mother-in-law is a very special woman, having gone through many struggles in her young life in Yugoslavia and then moving from Germany to a new country to start over again with her husband and four little children. Now, many years later, her eleven children and grandchildren are rising up and calling her Blessed. She is an amazing woman! Happy Birthday, Mom!
