Celebrating 80 Years!!!



This weekend we went to the big city of Grapeland, TX to celebrate my wonderful grandfather's 80th birthday! Almost everyone in the family was able to make it for the whole weekend. On Saturday, we had a wonderful surprise party for him at the local restaurant. We told old stories, watched a precious video with pictures and memories and sang "happy birthday" and the kids even got to help with blowing out the candles!!!! It was a wonderful time of celebrating. The whole weekend was dedicated to his special day. It was nice to get together and see everyone. Joshua had a really great time playing with his 2nd cousins. We ended the weekend with all of us going to church(we took up three rows). How amazing to have such a close knit, huge family to share this wonderful time with. My grandfather, or Poppy as us grandchildren call him is a wise and wonderful man. I am so blessed to be apart of him and this wonderful family! Happy 80th Birthday, Poppy!!!!! We love you!!!
