I'm so glad we ended up making the trip back to Illinois for my Grandma's (Rome's Great-Grandma) surprise 80th birthday party. We had so much fun spending time with family and Rome met so many new cousins for the first time (too many to count). The party was a success and Grandma was sincerely surprised. There were close to 100 people there...just a small testament to how loved she is! We would never be able to return the favor that she provides to us every single Sunday. This woman has been making Sunday dinner for her entire family (around 30 people, usually) every single Sunday after church for the past 30+ years. She starts cooking every Saturday and doesn't rest until all the dishes are (hand-washed) Sunday evening. I don't know how she does it! Perhaps that is where I got my love for entertaining with food (although my cooking could never compare ;). Happy Birthday, Grandma...we love you!!!
