Nana's 70th

To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old. 
Oliver Wendell Holmes

My Nana turns 70 years old today. What a mile stone. Looking at her you would never guess she was 70 at all, she is still a wee stunner.

We had a birthday party for her at my aunt Lyns house. It was brillaint, we had the whole family there. We even managed to get in contact with our Nana's sisters who live in Canada and Australia. The Birthday girl was over the moon.

Like I said, she certainly does not look seventy, nor does she act like it. She still loves going to her wee club and getting on the stage to sing, she could also out dance any young clubber any day.

Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Leroy "Satchel" Paige

I love having the whole family together it give off such a feel good mood.

There was a massive spread of food that everyone had joined in to make and it was yummy. I ate loads!!!! Seriously I gained about to stone, thank goodness I was wearing leggins otherwise I would have burst through my buttons.

The cake was lovely. We knew she would be expecting a nice cake so uncle Michael took charge of that. However, he thought that it was too nice of a cake to put candels on, so we decided to play a little joke. Michael brougt out a plain cake with a candel on it for my Nana, nothing fancy at all, safe to say she had to force her wee smile a little. However, she was delighted when the real cake came out and it was gorgeous.

The grand kids worked together on a present for our Nana, she wanted a new phone, with specific requirements It HAD to be a 'flippy' one, it HAD to have a camera and it HAD to have big buttons so that she could see the numbers she was pressing, My cousins found her the perfect one, not only did it meet all the requirements but it was lepord print and also acted as a mirror. However when she first saw it in the box she did think it was perfume... silly Nana.




We also decided to make her a scrapbook. It had pictires from her childhood, her kids childhood, her grandkids child hood and right up to the present. A poem of hers was also included. She loved it.
