Mema's 90th Birthday Party

Family from all over the country came together in Dallas to go to Mema's 90th birthday party. It was so special for us to be there to celebrate and get to see family from Texas, Alaska, Montana, Colorado, and New Mexico. Mema didn't know that all of her children, and some of her grandchildren, who live hundreds of miles away, would be there until they showed up an hour before the party started and surprised her! This was Bella's first birthday party to go to and she loved being there to meet so much of her Ing family! Now she just needs to meet my sisters Jennifer and Emily, who live in Sacramento, California, and she will know almost all of her Ing family relatives!

The birthday queen in her crown!
