Tante Pop turns 101!

What a celebration of life! This weekend on October 25th Tante Pop turns 101 years old, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANTE POP!!! This summer in June we were able to visit Tante Pop in Las Vegas. I loved seeing the smile on her face. When we arrived she was actually sleeping but James ran back in her room, he started gently tapping her arm...her eyes opened up and she had a big smile on her face.

It was priceless!

I found some interesting facts about the year Tante Pop was born so I thought I'd share...
