The 100th Birthday Party

What a party!!!

Nonni turned 100 on Thursday - we had the party last night at the local Italian hall and it was wonderful.  We had a four piece band, about 90 people, all of her children, grandchildren and all but one great grandchild who was away at college.....People came from as far as Indiana.

 Dancing at her 100th!!

 Everyone dancing with her!!!

Everyone enjoyed her dancing.  She got up three times to dance, when she liked the music!!!!  It was a great party!!!  So much food and good times.....

I thought about it a little.  How many times in a person's life to they get to attend a 100th birthday party grand celebration?  Not many.   We are all very lucky!!!

I'm heading over there now to see her and to eat some leftovers!!

Disney

We had a great mini vacation....We saw a lot of Florida - we flew into Ft. Lauderdale, drove to Naples, stayed there for one night and then drove up to Orlando for three days.....The best weather I have ever had in December!!

I'm a proud mama today

The team my daughter coaches came in second place in National Competition in Florida.  2nd in the nation out of 11 teams.  But they beat quite a few teams to get down there in the first place.....

She also got into Campbell University (in NC) before we left for vacation and now she just got into Duquesne University (in PA).  Woot-Woot!!

Those are the farthest two colleges that she applied to - both about 7-1/2 hours away driving distance.....in totally different directions!

It's a good week, so far!
