Nene's 80th birthday

My Grandmother (Nene!) turned 80 this weekend. My mom and all her brothers took her to a bed & breakfast in Charlottesville for the weekend, and the rest of the family surprised her by showing up for a huge family dinner. I seriously have the cutest Grandma ever. My mom and my aunt brought some old family photos that I had never seen before, and I of course fell absolutely in love with them. One was of Nene wearing a grass skirt and bikini that her oldest brother had sent to her while he was stationed in Japan (she was such a hottie). Another was of the whole family in the late 70's I think. My mom was beautiful, and loved that I was dressed similar to the way she was in the photo. It's weird to have such a great time at an 80th birthday party.
