Celebrating 90 Years

We just spent a wonderful weekend celebrating Grandma's 90th birthday.  All of the family was able to come and it was amazing.  The house had beautiful views of the canal and the food was top notch.  It was a perfect weekend!
    
The kids had Monday and Tuesday off from school last week so Alex provided entertainment. 
    
We had the March of Dimes event Thursday night to raise money for moms and babies.  This year, it was held at Camp North End.  It was great and Alex and I were able to walk home afterwards.
    
      
We get to see a lot of old friends at these events.
     
   
   
   
   
    
On the way down to Grandma's celebration, we unfortunately hit a deer a few miles away from the beach.  I am most sad about the deer, but the poor old car took a big hit as well.  We had to have it towed back to Charlotte for further evaluation. 
      
I had fun planning decorations for Grandma's party. 
     
It was so lovely to catch up with everyone!
   
     
   
   
   
      
We had perfect weather.
   
   
   
   
Colin and Tess made an amazing dinner Saturday night.  Harper had three helpings!
   
    
    
    
    
     
We did some family photos on the beach.  Can't wait to see them!
        
Sorry for your cousin, deer!
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     
    
    
    
The cake was spectacular!
    
     
One candle for each decade! 
      
I have the cutest Grandma!
    
    
    
    
     
    
    
    
Chris brought a puzzle that we all worked on.
      
    
   
We took out the canoes.  It was so beautiful.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
     
   
   
   
    
    
     
Harper went crab hunting.

We took a nice walk on the beach to write to the Kindred Spirit. 
    
The kids swam in all the tidal pools.
    
    
    
    
    
    
We saw dolphins!!
   
   
   
    
    
    
All done!
   
   
No trip to Sunset Beach is complete without stopping at Callahan's for fudge and a Yankee Candle.
   
   
   
    
We weren't there for these pictures, but they were too good not to add.
