Gram Crackers Turns 60

The end of March we headed out east to Gram Crackers and Pop's house for a surprise 60th Birthday party for my mom. I got to see my childhood best friend Jessica and her daughter Cassandra. We stayed the night with them to keep the surprise. The party was a success. Mom was certainly surprised. Millie loved the airplane rides. She didn't even mind the 1.5 hour delay on the way home. (Probably because I had plenty of snacks and books. Two of her favorite things.) It seems like almost every time we go to visit we end up eating brunch at the Cock n Bull Restaurant where Shannon and I had our wedding reception. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Surprise!!

We got her!

Lighting the Big cake.
(I should say icing. There was 30% cake and 70% icing
on that thing! No one was able to eat their entire piece.)

The whole gang. Matt, Jim Dad, Mom, myself and Sarah.

Jessica and Cassandra with us. Cousin Annalise got in the picture too.

Spot where Shannon & I had some of our wedding photos taken.
Decided to get another shot there with Millie this time!

Holding hands. So cute.
