Oma turns 90!

This past weekend we celebrated my Grandma's 90th birthday! My mom's mom is such a special lady and we love her LOTS! She still lives on her own and is doing very well despite some ongoing health concerns... she knows and loves each one of her grandkids, and each of her 28 (29 and 30 are on the way!) great-grandchildren. What a legacy. My mom and aunts did an AMAZING job putting together a dinner and fun evening and my youngest cousins even had a ton of games and prizes all ready for the the great-grand-kidlets! The girls really love their Oma even though they only see her a couple times a year and can sense how special she is. One really cute moment was during dinner when Geneva stood up and said "I'm going to go say hi to Oma." She went over, gave her a hug and then came back to the table. Brookie then followed suit, went and hugged Oma too.
We pray Oma will have many more healthy, blessed years!

Micah was smiling and cooing while Oma was holding him (ok, I think he was actually talking to her corsage.)

We love our Oma!

Most of the great grandkids (minus the new babies and Eli and Cole) singing "He's got the whole world in his hands" The last verse was "He's got our Oma... in his hands" Very cute.

I like the new pic at the top of your blog. How come Micah is the only one who got to wear shoes? Gma and Gpa's new Huisman family pics look great too. I heard you're in line for a March visit? Yipee!!
