This past weekend Megan, Neil and I headed off to Cleveland, Ohio to celebrate my Grandma's 95th birthday! It was a great weekend and the first time Neil was able to meet a lot of my extended family. We got there around dinner time on Friday and Neil and I went to dinner with my mom and dad while Megan met up with one of her college friends.
Saturday morning we headed out to my cousins (and Godparents) house. While there my aunts and uncles and a bunch of cousins all came over to meet Neil for the first time. It was so much fun and reminded me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family! Everyone gave Neil great reviews and he handled it all like a champ!
We then went to pick up my grandma and take her to church and dinner. When she met him, my Grandma, who only reaches to Neil's hip bone, grabbed his face and gave him a little pat on his cheek and said "welcome to the family." It was all very Godfather!
Sunday we all cooked breakfast at my Grandma's and hung out with her to celebrate the big 9 5. It's unbelievable to me that she is 95! On the way home Megan, Neil and I were talking about all the things she (and Neil's grandparents, who are also 95) have all seen in their lives. My grandma is truly an amazing women and has seen and been through a lot. She was smiling all weekend and saying how she was really going to stick it to her friends that she had her family in town this weekend! She told us stories about my dad growing up and about her childhood, which were all so crazy to hear!
I'm so happy Neil was able to meet a lot of my cousins and aunts and uncles before our wedding! I am so lucky to have them all in my life and couldn't ask for a better group of people to call family!
