Last week we celebrated my Grandmothers 86th Birthday!! It was such a special and fun night. We are so grateful for Gram in our lives and the chance we had to celebrate her big day! Here are a few highlights:
 |
| Not only beautiful, but our talented cousin Shanon put together the invites. They were sent not only to our Utah family, but to Arizona, Idaho, Texas, Ohio, and New York! Why wouldn't the country want to celebrate this big occasion! |
 |
| We all know Gram lOvEs PINK! |
 |
| It's time to PaRtY! Can't Wait for Gram to arrive! |
 |
| Thanks to everyone that sent pictures...and thanks to Emily (beautiful and talented also) for making the "86" sign! Can't wait to use it again at Grams 98th Birthday! |
 |
| Quist girls are ready to PARTY! Can't you tell by Claire's punch lips? |
 |
| and Ruby. |
 |
| It wouldn't be a Peterson get together without the infamous Parson's Chocolate Angel Food Cake! |
 |
| From Gram's Lazy Daisy cupcakes, Cutlers Cookies, Lion House Ribbon Sandwiches, Fresh Fruit, PB Hearts, Robin's Rainbow Jello, and Staples Strawberry Salad...we enjoyed some yum that brought back many good foodie memories with dear Gram. |
 |
| Gram even coordinated her outfit with the spread :) Enjoy! |
 |
| Let's Eat! |
 |
| Beautiful and Talented Lindsay, Cutie Pie Lucy (Brynn's), and the happiest newlywed on the planet, Carly Porter. |
 |
| Lovely Little Girls |
 |
| Sweet Sage and Megan! So happy you came :) |
 |
| It was a night of favorites...from our favorite 86 year old, to favorite foods, and our favorite things. Thanks for sharing ladies!! |
 |
| The Originals were represented...Joyful Jana, and Radiant Robin! |
 |
| Thank you for sending all the letters and pictures! Gram loved the book. We told her when she has a minute, and when her and Grandpa Burke have a minute to be alone, they could read the notes together :) |
 |
| So fun seeing some great pics of Gram and the stories behind them! |
 |
| At the end of the party, everyone was given a balloon to write their favorite word that describes our beloved Gram. |
 |
| We then took them outside (on a very windy eveing)...counted to three... |
 |
| One...Two...Three!! |
 |
| We let our balloons fly high and promised to remember the one word we wrote on our balloon and then promised to try to better live that word in our own lives :) |
 |
| It wouldn't be an official birthday without singing "THE SONG." Gram gave everything she had to blow out those candles... |
 |
| But needed help from the cute little girls. Gram only has one lung, you know. |
 |
Grams Peeps...We Missed ALL of you that couldn't make it, but felt your spirit there.
Thanks Again to everyone who brought food, sent letters and pictures!
It wouldn't of been the same without you! |
 |
P.S. Just wanted to throw this picture in for keepsake sake.
Gram and the Quist girls...wow, there really are a lot of us! |
 |
Just to top it off...the (one of many) Brookies!
THE END! |
