Anyone who knows me, knows that I love surprises, but rarely can keep it a surprise. So I was doubly excited to help in the preparations & "creating" of Nana's party & gift. Mind you that it was NOT an easy task, but fun none the less. Danielle, my sister-in-law, decided to take upon herself the challenge of scrapbooking & organizing the "tub" of pictures in her mothers basement. Mind you that this "tub" is BIG & yellow and chuck FULL of misc. pictures all mixed together. Talk about MOTIVATION!! We had a lot of LATE night-she more than I. Remember I just arrived and she's been working on this for a while now. We share some good laughs at the pictures we found too! :) The best was Nana's reaction! She knew the pictures were missing & I made up stories to get stories about the pictures, but in the end MISSION COMPLETED. Tears were shed & memories were shared. I am now even MORE motivated to finish my own book & start Savanna's. The food tonight was delicious & a plenty. Savanna was all the rave in her little festive RED number. I loved watching her play with her cousins, aunts, uncles & grandpa's too! (She seriously has a thing for boys--must be fixed soon!) By the end of the night she was practically nude-diaper only, but happy, tired & easy to put to sleep. After all, that's what Nana's house is for--wear em' out & give em' back! It was a GREAT night to celebrate a GREAT mother-in-law! Love you Nana D!! 
Funny, I could have sworn that there was a picture of Nana in there somewhere?? (check back)
