An 80th Birthday Bash!

My wife's grandmother, "Grandjan," had her 80th birthday in late July and since the entire family was going to be together for a trip to the beach in August they decided it would be a perfect time to throw her a party.  I'm pretty sure this was the best 80th birthday party ever.  200+ people came to celebrate Grandjan's 80 years.  Over the years she was a teacher, a coach to the national champions for a HS academic team, a philanthropist in the community, an active member in her church, a book club attendee, a bridge club host, a caring friend, and the list could go on and on.  It's not a wonder that so many people came to celebrate!  It was a fun time with the family and I enjoyed photographing the event.
