Happy 90th Birthday Grandaddy!

Happy Birthday Grandaddy!


My grandaddy turned 90 this year on Dec 22 so we decided to celebrate with a big birthday party! How many times do you get to do anything 90 times??? What an accomplishment!


Grandaddy, Brayden and Marshall patiently waited for permission to blow out the candles from the ladies in charge (if you look closely at the picture you will see the candles were already burning down quite a bit at this point - I can't believe the little ones were so cooperative!)






Here's a good one of all the brothers and sisters with their Dad. I can't remember now what was said to get everyone to smile (including Grandaddy!) but whatever it was, it worked! :)










My mom, the veteran school teacher, and Aunt Patti made sure the kids had lots of activities to keep them busy during the party. They had talked with the North Pole and found out that Santa's elves had been out joy-riding on Santa's sleigh the night before (to relieve a little pre-Christmas stress) and some presents had accidently fallen out of the sleigh over Aunt BB's yard (ok, so this isn't exactly how they told the story, but you have to admit, my version is funnier... ;). The kids had a great time finding the presents...however they got there. :)



Here are a few pictures of our family taken at the party by Janet Carden of JCardenPhoto - Thanks Janet! If you are interested in having some wonderful pictures taken of your family check her out at jcardenphoto.com.
