We had the honor and pleasure of attending my Great Aunt Polly\u2019s 90th birthday party on her exact birth day, October 11, earlier this month!  I wouldn\u2019t have been anywhere else in the whole wide world that day, along with these beauties!<\/p>\n

This 90 year old red-head is super special and totally amazing!  I try to call her each week, and every time we get to talk, I realize how strong and resilient she is and what a legacy I have to live up to.  She truly peps me up and keeps me going!<\/p>\n

Aunt Polly was talking to Noelle about how cute the little dancers were.  <\/p>\n

My cousin, Amber, my sissy, Nancy, and baby Saylor.  Aunt Polly asks me how \u201cMichael J\u201d is doing every single time we talk.  He\u2019s totally flattered because she always brags on him and makes him feel special when they are together.  She truly knows he has a good heart and makes sure he knows she knows.  <\/p>\n

Aunt Polly enjoyed her cards and little presents so much!  The girls couldn\u2019t wait to give her our goodies.<\/p>\n

Noelle made her a beaded lizard key chain that she\u2019d been wanting, and we gave her some cozy cardigans for winter.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard so much about her little bag that she always has with her every where she goes.  It has a pen for writing down food requests, a comb for straightening her hair, and her cell phone.  She is awesome!<\/p>\n

I promise I didn\u2019t plan it this way, but today, the day of this post, is October 26, 2014.  Aunt Polly\u2019s oldest sister, my very special Granny (Rara\u2019s mom), would have been 100 years old today.  I honestly miss her every single day, and the tears flow from time to time when I think about her and all the memories we share.  She would be so thrilled her little sister, Aunt Polly, got to know all of these precious great grand babies!  Aunt Polly and Granny were very best friends even though they were 10 years apart.  They were always together and so very funny together at that.  Their personalities were night and day, but that was the beauty of their friendship.  They are both such wonderful caring supportive women in my life, and I wouldn\u2019t be who I am today without their love and care.  Happy 90th birthday, Aunt Polly, and 100th birthday, Granny\u2026 we love you both more than words!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
