Oma's 90th Birthday!!

The whole family on Saturday evening - missing Reid and Nick (Breanna's husband) who both had to work

On October 28th my Oma turned 90!!  The weekend before we had a big celebration.  Saturday we had an open house for tons of her friends.  All of the family was there except Reid because he had to work.  Vince and I slept on an air mattress in Oma's living room that night and we all got up to go to church with her.  Sunday we had a family lunch at Maggiano's.  Steven, Heidi, and the kids even drove in for the lunch.  Jason and Amber were at a car race so they missed out on the yummy food.  It was so fun to have the whole family together!  Chelsea's little girl, Tinsley, was born 2 weeks after Cambria.  She is so beautiful and it was so fun to watch them check each other out.  It will be a blast once they're moving around and able to play with each other.  

It was so wonderful to celebrate Oma's life.  She is such an amazing woman!!  From stories about growing up in Nazi occupied Holland, to raising 3 kids all around the world, to 50+ years of marriage, she is such an inspiration and never fails to get us laughing.  She is so loved and hopefully she felt some of that this weekend.  There are tons of pictures but I've tried to narrow them down - I promise!

Cambia with her "grand" Tante Anneke  - she says  it's not fair for my mom to be a grandmother and her to be a great aunt.  Grand aunt really does make more sense.

Most awesome cake by Michelle's Patisserie (same people who did our wedding cakes).  It was so stressful holding that as we drove through the hills on 1431.

It was really amazing!


Delicious food - my mom did a great job!!

A rare moment with both babies awake

Ready to watch the Longhorns.  Unfortunately with the rain delay the only person who watched them was Daddy.  Everybody else went to bed!
