Great-Grandma's 80th Birthday Party

On Saturday we went to my grandparents' house in Waynesboro for an 80th birthday party for my grandma. It was great! Almost out entire family was there, minus Todd, Sandra and Keats, of course. It was the first time we'd seen some of the family since Grandpa's 80th birthday party two years ago. It was so much fun watching all of the girls play together. They all had so much playing in their great-grandparents' huge yard.

Paige really enjoyed the cake.

See, look at the size of that bite.

Virginia liked it too.

Great-Grandpa was nice enough to let the kids play in his garden. He even made a road for Merick's (my dad's cousin's grandson) cars.

At one point during the afternoon Jada got ahold of our camera and started taking pictures. It was fine with us and she's actually a pretty good photographer- especially considering she's only 6.
