70th Celebration & Reunion

With so much of Diamond's family living in Utah, it feels like a family reunion every time we come to town. But this year, we made it official. The Smith's planned a family BBQ, talent show and family pictures.

Cheryl's husband Tyler took control of the grill. The flames? He says they were on purpose.

While my mother in law Ann knew that we were having a family reunion, she didn't know it was also a surprise 70th birthday party for her. She was moved to tears when Diamond came out holding her birthday cake:

The queen of the evening:

The grandkids put together a little talent show in honor of Grandma. Annie did a Taylor Swift song, Jake and Ad did a Justin Bieber impersonation and my boys did the Duck Song as a skit. It was all very entertaining! Really, it was hysterical!

My favorite act was when all of the grandson's did a little tribute of My Girl for Grandma:

The Caboose is ready to go:

While this was all about Ann, it was still a family reunion and we had to snap some pictures of everyone. Here is Diamond with the original Smith clan:

It was a wonderful evening and a great celebration.

these pictures are too cute for words...and love the outfit coordination -- but I'm a freak that way (at least that's what my family says about me)
