On December 3rd my Grandpa turned 80 years old! The day after we all gathered at my parents house to celebrate! It was so fun to come and celebrate and see everyone. It was a crazy day for me, so I wasn't able to stay as long as I would have liked too, but it was so great to be there while I could.
Hallie loved having a house full of kids to play with and did NOT want to take a picture, so this is the best we have. Thank you Kelsie for sharing, because she is screaming in the couple pictures we have. What a pickle!My Grandpa is the best, we all love him and I think anyone who has ever met him loves him too. He is such a people person and love to talk and tell stories. I love listening to his stories! When I was little, anytime they came over to our house, he would ask me "how's your cat doing?" but we did NOT have a cat, we had a dog. It was one of those things that Grandpa always did, and it always got my attention and we'd always have the discussion that Thunder, our dog (I guess she was really my brother's dog, but I still claim her), was in fact a dog and not a cat. It is one of those little things that I will always remember.
When I was two, almost three, my Grandpa was in a major car accident, and had to have some major surgeries done. But because I wasn't in school and I was so little and wouldn't be scared I remember my mom taking me to the hospital and climbing up on his bed and climbing on him, (which I'm sure was uncomfortable considering the situation) and sitting up on the pillow next to him with his head all wrapped up and bandaged. It wasn't until recently that that is where I was remembering that from, but it was neat to place that memory. It was neat to know that even in that situation he wanted to see the grandkids and be close to them.
Anyway, it was a really fun day and it was fun to see everyone. Happy 80th birthday Grandpa! We sure do love you!
