Great Grandma Kennel's Birthday Bash

On Sunday, November 8, Shawn's Grandma Kennel turned 90 years old. Grandma & Grandpa Ginder threw her a surprise birthday party the night before and invited the entire family to Bird-in-Hand Restaurant. She didn't know they were coming up from Florida and just thought Missy was taking her out for her birthday. Her entire family, minus one great-grandchild, was there. Grandma Kennel adopted Shawn's Mom and Aunt Kathy, and every time we see her, she tells us how thankful she is for her family and how she's so glad she took in these two girls. I think it's precious. 
Here's Grandma Kennel with her two daughters, then all her grandchildren, followed by the smallest of the great-grandchildren. One of the older gals didn't get in the picture and the other one couldn't make it that night for some reason. The last picture is Grandma Kennel and her great grandsons. 
The food was good and it was nice to see everyone. I think Grandma Kennel was truly surprised. That night as I was tucking Joshua into bed, he prayed "fank you, God, for Grandma's birthday and birthday cake and the big and strong piece of cake Pa-paw had." Haaaa!!! He thanked God for Grandma Kennel's birthday for the next three nights...and her birthday cake and candles. :)
