Nanny's 80th Birthday
2008.09.06
To celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday, my mom and her sisters threw a surprise party in Valley Forge, PA. Nanny was expecting about 15 aunt, uncles and cousins, and arrived to find 60 friends and relatives. This photo is one of the beautiful centerpieces, and the photo used for the invitations - my grandmother (on the left) and her sister in the 1930s.

My brother couldn't make it from LA, but true to form, he sent Nanny an awesome video message using footage from the DNC. This is Nan (closest to the 'screen') watching it.

We had just as many leftovers as food that was eaten, so dinner on Saturday night (in this photo) and breakfast the next morning was leftovers, leftovers and more leftovers. At the hotel on Sunday morning, we saw a friend who's known my family since '63 - mom told him how much leftovers we had, and he said 'glad to hear things haven't changed' :)
