Happy 65th Birthday Grandma

Today is a special day! My mom (a.k.a. Grandma Jean) is 65 today and in honor of her special day we made a fun, little video just for her since we can't be there to celebrate with her in person...


Happy 65th Birthday to an amazing Mom and Grandma! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

And to make you giggle, here are the outtakes from the making of this little birthday ditty...


And thanks to Pinterest, we sent these fun birthday extras down to Florida as well:
Jackson fancies himself to be a "good painter" so he made his Grandma a special birthday cake - the decorative kind. With glitter!
And I made this one-of-a-kind photo collage of memories of Mom with our family which we had printed at her local Costco in a giant -- no, make that ENORMOUS -- poster size of 20" x 30" to add to the birthday decor. We Blankenships figure we may as well go BIG or go home! (And the plane tickets "home" to Florida are a little too pricey these days so we knew that wasn't an option.)
