August 12,1921 - Cornelia Van Zee Vos was born.
August 12, 2011 She celebrated her 90th birthday with Friends and Family. We really enjoyed our afternoon and evening together as family. To explain the magnitude of this event, I will give you a few numbers.
- 10 children and spouses
- 30 grandchildren and spouses
- 25 great grandchildren with 2 more announced for early 2012
We are only missing about 7 from that total.
Our family also collected a few frequent flyer miles. We literally arrived from all over the world. Here's a few places:
- London, England
- Panama City
- Los Angeles
- Atlanta
- Philadelphia
- Kentucky
- Denver
- Grand Rapids, MI
With many of us driving from parts of Iowa.
I can't really describe to you how much fun it was. I saw cousins that I had not seen in years. I met their spouses and children. I heard stories about their lives. We all told stories about Grandma and reminisced about how our lives very shaped by Grandma. It was extremely evident how much we all love this dear woman. Happy Birthday Grandma.
