80 IS GREAT-Y! PART 2 + CAMILLE'S BIRTHDAY


On Sunday, March 15, our family celebrated
Grandma Dixie and Camille's birthday.
We had orange chicken, and Chinese food.









A book for Grandma Dixie

Camille got an H & M card from me.
The tradition among the siblings is to give cash,
and let the birthday kiddo go shopping for themselves.

A flag for Grandma Dixie
(The kitchen can lights are now BRIGHT!
McKay got new lights for the kitchen and dining room, and installed them.)

Kim made a candy basket, with candy that was popular
in 1935.  Also, she had cards telling what was popular in the decade.

One of mom's former students, Matt, is a salesman...that comes often
to the shop.  His wife crocheted this gorgeous shawl!


The big surprise was the cards!
I had text the family, contacted her Facebook friends,
and emailed ward members (that had an email) about
sending her cards, letters, pictures, emails, etc. for her birthday.
My Dixie College roommate returned hers first!
I picked up the mail, and anything left at the door.
On her birthday, she received 24 cards!
It was a HUGE surprise for her!









Camille is Grandma Dixie's 2nd grandchild, and first granddaughter.
We celebrate their birthdays together.
Camille turned 33 on February 27.
I was Katie's age, 24, when Camille was born.

And then they danced . . .
