Grandma Raddon's 71st Birthday Party!

We celebrated Grammy birthday tonight with the Utah Raddon/Frye Gang at our home. We had a good ol' midwest dinner of brats, beans, fruit, and corn on the cob. I made a Souther Comfort Coconut Cake for her birthday cake. It turned out pretty yummy if I say so myself. It had all of Grammy's favorites....coconut and lemon, yummy! Cruz, Alegra, and I even made a piñata for the party. By the time we got to piñata time it started to rain outside (which is good because we haven't had any rain in so long) so we did the piñata inside. I made the piñata a little strong by double bagging it, so Uncle Russ ended up having to break it open! It was a very nice evening and I am so happy to have Grammy in our lives!

Happy Birthday!

Mom and Me!

I can remember taking a picture like this last year at Grandma's surprise 70th birthday party. Alegra was in a little purple romper and she was so young, she has sure grown up this past year!

Cruz and his candy!
