90th Birthday

November 1st was my Grandma Searl’s 90th Birthday. We loaded up the kids and headed to Kansas. This might have been the WORST driving trip we have attempted as a family. It involved running out of gas, Will crying and crying, stopping for Madeline to go potty after we had just stopped, and the worst… Will throwing up TWICE! So by the time we got to Kansas we were tired, stinky (throw up smell for the last 2 hours), and GRUMPY. Nick dropped Maddie Grace and I off at the party and took Will to Grandpa Ross & Grandma Jenna’s for a much needed scrub down. Here are some pictures of the party. My dad’s sister Carol did all the party planning and ordered the cake. Connie and Joey (Carl) also made the long trips from Maine and North Carolina to come for the fun.

Happy 90th birthday Grandma! Can’t wait to see you again for another visit.
