Grandma Turtle turns 95

In an effort to get half-way caught up with blogging, here are some pictures of our trip to CA for Rob's Grandma Turtle's 95th birthday extravaganza.  

The trip was a quick one for us; we flew into LAX Saturday morning, the party was Saturday night, and we were at the airport again Sunday afternoon.  Even though traveling with two little ones turned out to be quite the production, we couldn't miss being in this picture:
All of Grandma Turtle's descendents: 4 kids, 12 grandkids, and 22 great-grandkids
KK did an amazing job organizing everyone.  Super efficient and organized Grandma + group photo = ZERO crying kiddies!  The picture-taking was over before anyone had time to get cranky!  She's got serious skillz.  
Some other pictures of the dinner, awesome talent show, and dancing:

95 years young! 
It was a busy 48 hours, but we were so so so happy to have been there. We love you Grandma!
