Aunt Mary's 100th Birthday

Can you imagine being born in 1907? Mary Cole, our Great, Great Aunt celebrated her 100th birthday on May 19th, 2007. Mary is the daughter of Maren(Katrina)and Rasmus Christian Rasmussen who immigrated from Denmark in 1889. Maren and Rasmus had 3 children (Frankie, Edwin, and Mary)

Mary was married to Earl Cole and had 2 sons (Bobby and Donald). If you're wondering how we are related to Mary...here's the scoop. Frankie, otherwise known as "Grandma Frankie" is my mom's grandmother. Frankie was married to Harvey Albertson and they had 4 children(Jim, Mary Belle, Irene, Helen. Mary Belle is my mom's mom. Are you confused yet?

Anyway, we had a fabulous time and we were able to gather 5 generations to celebrate. My mom, cousin Sharon, Aunt Helen, Chris, Rowan and I felt so honored to share such an amazing day with our family.

ps. Aunt Mary is such a charmer! You wouldn't believe she's 100 by the way she moves around! At one point, she even tried to race Helen down the hall! It was also really nice to see how much she is loved by her friends at Sierra. She is truly a special lady!
