Velma's 90th Birthday

Steve's grandma, Velma, turned 90 on January 19.  I wanted to do something special for her since she has done so much for so many people.  We decided to surprise her at church with a little party.  We were all set for January 15...then the weather gave us ice and church was canceled. :(  We rescheduled to the next Sunday, but unfortunately Granny and Papa were on a cruise that weekend so they couldn't make it.  We still had lots of family, including a nice and nephew from Illinois!  Velma was very surprised when we all showed up at church!  Becky made some delicious brownie cupcakes and we ordered pizza for lunch.  It was a great day celebrating a great mom, grandma, and great-grandma.

I really can't say enough wonderful things about this lady.  At 90 she is still active serving meals at House of Prayer, volunteering in a 2nd grade classroom (she is a former math teacher), and helping her church and community.  She is a blessing to everyone around her.  And Steve and I love her so much that we named our first daughter after her.  She and Hannah share the middle name Rose.
