My Lola’s 90th Birthday!

December 28th, 2008

I know I am blessed because I have a wonderful relationship with my grandmother. My Lola Betty has always been a huge supporter of my career and has always been there since the start. I remember very well how she even gave me money to buy me my first secondhand sewing machines. She even went as far as ordering three dresses a month just so that I would have work. I love my Lola very much!

On December 26th she turned 90! A major milestone! We celebrated mass and had lunch with around 200 of her friends and relatives! I was so happy for her as 2 of her classmates since kindergarten were there. My brother created a video presentation of her life and it was filled with beautiful photos that would make anyone inspired!

Family and friends throughout the years came to celebrate with us.

We had a really cool cupcake birthday cake courtesy of Sonja! Thanks sweets! You saved the day! (We assumed that the cake would be arranged by the caterer but no! So we had to find a cake by lunch time and we found out at like 10am that there was no cake! Panic level 98 right!? Thank God for Sonja!
