Mogensen Family: Granny's 100th Birthday

We were in Chicago the last few days celebrating the 100th birthday for Tom's grandmother. It was a joyous and wonderful few days, and it was celebrated with all the Mogensens. Everyone came near and far to wish Maren a very special 100th birthday. The festivities began with a party where she lives, 'The Danish Home'. Day 2 continued with a good old fashion get together, that included eating, eating, eating, some family fun olympics, eating and eating.

This use to be called 'The Old People Danish Home'...they have become a little more PC in the last few years.

Here is the sweet and lovely Maren Mogensen on her 100th birthday

Happy 100!!!!

Granny getting some love from Kyle

Santa came down from the North Pole to help Granny celebrate. He brought along t-shirts for all the great grandchildren.

Here is Granny with her 19.5 (one is still cooking) Oldebarns....aka Great Grandchildren

This was the BEST cake I have ever eaten in my entire life! I had 3 pieces 2 days in a row.... don't judge me, it really was that good.

Here Tom is with Oldebarn #18 and #19

Alice feeling right at home with the Cubie blanket Mark let her use while we stayed at their house. Thank you to Mark and Erin for letting us stay at your place and driving us all around the city!!!!

Kyle hanging out with Karen who came out from Denmark. I think he's laughing at the all the Danish words she's saying to him. Hey, she sounds just like me! :)
