Grandma Fernie

Happy 84th Birthday, Grandma!

          This is Fern, my beautiful grandma. 
I was blessed with the greatest.  She loves to have parties, keep busy, and eat candy.  She raised six beautiful girls, and our family keeps growing each year.

My Aunt Grace is so nice to host the Hen & Chick's party each year. 

(My cousin Becca made these little cake chicks.  They were DARLING and very yummy. 
She is one talented little chick!)

As you can guess, my grandma is the hen & all the rest of us girls are her chicks.  We do keep the age limit to 18 because once in a while a subject will come up that may be rated PG for little girls.  This is the first year that I was able to attend.  I had a fantastic time.  We were missing a few chicks, but when you are trying to get that many people together all at once it is tough.  Most of the missing were able to call in and talk and hear the party.  My Aunt Millie was even able to Skype from Brazil.  So she also got to see us in action. 





Look at all of these amazing women.  You can usually tell who was born in the family and who married in the family, cause we're a little goofy.  But a good goofy.  Nonetheless, we all love eachother just the same.  We have all been shaped & molded in one way or another by Grandma. 

You're the best, Grandma.
