Ideas for Grandma's Birthday

Hi All!
I'm going to try and keep this quick because I'm so tired tonight, but I want to post this in hopes of getting some replies.
I was talking with Mark this afternoon about Grandma's birthday and we decided to ask everyone if they had any ideas of what we can do to celebrate with her. We've all tossed around the idea of going out to dinner, which we're keeping in mind, but we thought we'd see if anyone had anything else. We were considering which restaurants, or having something at a family members house, or even getting something catered to Grandma's. Our plans don't have to be big, we mainly want to make sure Grandma has a nice time and is comfortable. So, if anyone has an idea or restaurant idea, please post here or text me/call me. Let me know and I'll pass things along to everyone.
Here's another thing: I would like to get a count of how many people are planning on joining us. With such a large group, we will need a head count. I know Bernadette is out of town and Kristy, Amber and Aunt Donna are in town, but we would like to know about others. I'd like to know by Sunday (march 15, Aunt Deb's birthday, R.I.P.) which cousins, boy/girlfriends, Aunts & Uncles are available Saturday, March 21st. As far as the time, we want to try and accomodate everyone. I know Sarah has work that night, so we may be able to start things during the early afternoon.
Okay, to wrap this up, I need names of those who can or can't make it. If you're working that day, fill me in on your schedule so we can try to plan for everyone to come along. Ask other cousins (and your parents) that don't read the blog if they can come. If we can decide where we're going and reservations are needed, I will definitely need a total by mid-week.
I think that covers everything. Oh, if you text my cell, be patient with my return since I just got a new phone and have yet to perfect using it :o)
Love to you all!! Grandma will love having everyone together no matter what we do or where we are. Talk with everyone soon!
