Happy 90TH Grandma Hoffman!

A women with such a great legacy turned 90 the other day, as the family was gathered to celebrate with cake and ice cream. Of course that meant with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Never is a celebration a small one; even if not everyone is able to make it. Once we returned home I couldn't help but think how grateful I am to be apart of the Hoffman clan. They are full of Dr.s, nurses, business owners, teachers, lawyers, stay at home moms, artists, travelers, etc. But those are just titles. To me the family is much more.

I started to think back to the very first time walking into Grandma Hoffman's home. Not only was I meeting her for the very first time on Thanksgiving; also my husbands 11 aunt and uncles! He really has 12; they lived in New York at the time. Yes, That's just on my husbands dad's side. The embrace in grandmas hug was tight and heart warming. You know the hugs grandmas always give. It wasn't something I had felt in a long time since both my grandmas had passed by the time I had meet my husband. I feel gracious when I became apart of the Hoffman family 6 years ago. Actually almost 8 years ago since everyone was so welcoming in our situation before we married. Never did Grandma Hoffman show any judgment or pass any judgment

Though Hendrick and I may have to repeat who we are and our daughters when we see her now, I feel blessed that God has brought her in my life almost 8 years ago when we still had Sunday family dinners. She sure could make some wicked dinner!

To grandma Hoffman turning 90!
