Grandma's 80th Birthday - Vegas Style

Okay, so if any of you have ever been to a grand parent's birthday party where I'm from, you know that it pretty much consists of eating, visiting and maybe some low German songs.
Not so in California. There is still eating and visiting but this time it's done around poker, blackjack and roulette tables. Man, what a hoot we had! And Grandma loved every minute of it. Michelle hosted the shin-dig and together with her sisters, mother and other aunts they set up a bonafide Casino with authentic playing chips and "real" dealers. It was quite something. I'm sure I'll never see that again at an 80th birthday party. It was sure fun while it lasted.
