The Sweetness of Summer - Part Two

Now that the AZ weather is in the 80's consistently, I figured it was time to finally wrap up our summer memories here on the blog. The highlight of our summer, truly, was celebrating the 90th birthdays of two of the important women in our families' lives. Solon's great-grandma Alice (Gaga), and my grandma Miriam (Mama Mimi). We had a joint party for the two of them at the end of June with our local family and friends. Here are some highlights...
It was such a fun party filled with love and family! A couple weeks later, my Aunt Nancy, Uncle Bill and cousin Kerry came in town to have a dinner for my grandma's side of the family. Cousin Darcy wasn't able to leave her summer-long internship in Massachusetts, so thanks to technology she was able to be at the party via Facetime! That was my favorite moment of the evening for sure. Here are the highlights...
Both celebrations were wonderful and filled with so many stories, and memories. Cheers to you Mama Mimi and Gaga! We love you so much!
