Highlights of Papa's Birthday



Early Saturday morning, on July 12th, our caravan of four vehicles headed across the line and met at Alderwood Mall. The girls thought it would be fun to take Papa into the American Girl Store for a Happy Birthday sticker, while the boys headed to the Lego store.


He happily complied.
I guess the Lego Store did not have Birthday stickers.


The boys lined up outside Safeco Field (in the evening) ready to head in.
I smiled at the fact that they had all thought to bring their caps from last year.


 It was a beautiful night and place for this family,
spoiled by their Dad and Papa on his special day.


Honey, I just marvel at where time has gone and where it has taken us!
I really could not have imagined being here. . . in this stage of life . . .
and still find myself surprised at this reality.
It's been a road of taking one day at a time,
one commitment after another,
and it is such a privilege to celebrate another year.
Looking forward to what's still to come.

Such a special day. I love that those girls took him to get a sticker. They sure know how to make a guy feel special. Wishing your H many more happy returns of this day and continued good health.

What fun! Celebrating these "older men" is a real special privilege for us, right? You all sure did make him feel loved! The picture of the two of you, shows that the aging process has not touched you guys yet...only in numbers:)

Awesome parents and grandparents.

The girls look so happy to take their Papa to get his special sticker.
What a great way of spending the day to make 'Papa' and his family all feel special.

You both make a very nice looking happy couple.
