Grandpa Painter's 90th Birthday Party

Today we went up to Billy's Aunt & Uncles house to celebrate his Grandpa Painter's 90th birthday! His Aunt Sherrie made yummy Cafe Rio salads, and root beer floats.

Billy's Grandpa is such a special man! I love his jolly laugh, and sweet demeanor! He is still going strong at 90! I talked the family into taking some family pics with him so we could remember the day. I've been playing around with photoshop trying to make my pictures look better, and I thought they did until I downloaded them here...oh well :)

The Whole Family minus Samantha who was home sick

Just the girls with Grandpa

Grandma Bob & Grandma Joy...so sweet!

Steve, Grandpa Bob, and Billy

Grand America Sunday Brunch

Each year me, my mom, my dad's sisters and my grandmas all pick a Sunday and go up to Salt Lake for Sunday brunch. We usually go to Little America Hotel; however this year we ended up going a few weeks later, and found out that Little America only does their Sunday brunch during Christmas time. So we decided to go to the Grand America Hotel instead.

The Grand America is such a beautiful hotel! Although I think Little America has a better Sunday brunch (because the crepes are better!) I still really enjoyed the regalness the Grand America brings!

I completely ruined my week of healthy eating, but it was oh so worth it! I didn't quite have as many crepes as last year, but I got close!

This has always been one of my favorite traditions! I can't remember how long we've been doing this, but it has been since I was a little girl! I remember how special and celebrity I use to feel as a little girl getting to go to this beautiful place, and be able to eat just about anything you could think of!

We decided we had to get a picture in the front lobby. Those are fresh flowers in that arrangement! It smelled incredible!

Almost the whole group!
