John & I went down to Mesquite for Thanksgiving. It was a relatively small and quiet, but ever so tasty meal. The BIG event of the weekend was my grandma's 95th birthday. I've mentioned her in previous posts. The woman is amazing! and I love her immensely.
The party began with a catered dinner. After eating, the program began with my niece Maya singing, "God Bless America," one of grandma's favorite songs. Good job Maya!
The program continued with OxMen4, the band name for my four brothers, jamming to some of Grandma's favorite tunes. Marc is on the bass, Eric & Paul on guitars, and Aaron on the drums. This was total enjoyment for me. I had not heard all four together and I loved it. Their voices blend well and they're just fun to watch. Shortly after they began, they invited up a special guest to jam with them. Yep, it was my grandma on her harmonica. I'm telling you, the woman is incredible. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT!
The first video clip is from their first (and only) practice session before the party began. The next 2 clips are from the program.
Afterward, we enjoyed watching a video of her life, put together by my dad. I hadn't seen many of the older photos of G'ma O and some earlier ones of my dad and aunt. Well done Dad!
That was followed by the obligatory photo session that we Oxborrow siblings love to have. We can't help ourselves. Age order always seems to be the preference.
(Marc, Jill, Me, Eric, Aunt Kathy, G'ma O, Dad, Mom, Alicia, Tanya, Paul, Aaron)
Me, G'ma O, John - Gosh we love this lady. Have I said that already?
John is always so good to clean up after parties, and he's so good with kids. Here he is giving my niece Madison a ride on the vacuum. She loved it!
It was a great party. I so love spending time with my family. Thanks y'all. Love you!
