Next year's plans

Grandmother has FINALLY decided that she can't do the 4th of July family reunion. It's a change that needed to be made at least 3 years ago, since her health just isn't up to having such a big event at her house. This year was better than last, when she spent a few days in the hospital because it was too much. So next year it's at our house! In some ways I think it will be a good change. We can just have one meal (instead of two) and desserts. Plus by then we will have both living areas that we can open up for babies and the great grandmas, who need a break from the heat. AND Dad will have to have something done in the yard because it will drive him crazy to have the whole family coming and a messy yard. I just hope it doesn't mean that my mom will become as crazy as my grandmother is about the 4th.

DOWNSIDE: No escaping to Kohl's or Old Navy for last minute July 4th shopping.

Yay for having it at your house! That's always tough for Grandmas to realize that they just can't do it anymore. Your yard with all the fountains and fish will be so cool to have a party. Can I come next year? haha.
