Happy 100th Birthday Grandma Jane!

December 29th marked the 100th Birthday of my Great Grandma Jane. In celebration of her birthday, all of my mom's family got together for 4 fun filled days between Christmas and New Years. My mom's sister and her family live on Long Island in New York. They were able to fly down for a few days to help us all celebrate. There were 18 of us total. Instead of all bunking up in someones house - we decided that it would be fun to get a hotel for all of us. We stayed out in Grapevine and had a nice relaxing time. Our weekend consisted of sitting around and playing games, watching football on TV, and eating and eating and eating!
On Sunday, we all went to First Baptist Church Dallas. This church is where my mom and dad grew up attending, and my grandparents still go there. They announced Grandma Jane from the pulpit and they the entire church sang Happy Birthday to her. It was so fun. On Monday night, we all went to the Dallas Stars game. Grandma Jane didn't go because it was past her bed time. Here's the family in Victory Plaza outside of the American Airlines Center before the game.
Harper loves hanging out in her sling. I can take her anywhere in it! Harper enjoyed her first Hockey game. She stayed awake for the first part and then fell asleep in her sling. It's amazing that she can sleep with so much noise going on around her.
We bought the "cheap seats" and were literally on the back row of the upper deck! No seat in that arena is bad though - so we had a lot of fun. Here's the entire family - stretched out over two rows.
The Stars lost but we all had a great time!
