We celebrated New Years Eve with one of my all time favorite people. Grandpa Ted turned 90 years old!! I love him so much. He is such a great example to everyone he meets. He has a lot of spunk, and a lot of great wisdom. I have tried to take the kids often to go visit him. He is a very grateful , humble man. He has been inspired to write many poems for his grandchildren. I pray they remember them.
Happy, Happy Birthday Grandpa!
Is he not just darling?
Nancy Jo and Tasha came from California for this special event! Caitlin and Tasha decorated the church perfectly. There was music playing from the good ol' days, and food galore. We had a nice turkey and all the trimmings.
We had a program given by Ed, Jeff, and Nancy Jo. They retold his wonderful life. I could not believe how well Drew did. He sat and listened so well for only being the little two year old he is.
Grandpa really wanted a talent show. Sage played the piano, Tasha and Hallee sang. Lindsay did a puppet show, Raegan and my two girls danced, and I played a song on the harp. Grandpa ended it will his own little solo. It was hilarious.
McKenna and Aspens dance might have been the cutest thing you ever did see. We made big hearts with pictures of them with Grandpa on it. The song was "Last Christmas I gave you my heart". They ran and gave their "hearts" to grandpa with a big kiss. It was darling. Nate and I were very pleased with our beauties.
I had not played the harp for two years, so needless to say it was a bit rough. I am excited to start playing again. It inspired me to have McKenna take harp lessons. We are so excited about it.
The party was a hit. Everyone had a great time. I love the cute mustaches they had for everyone. Cause good ol' grandpa always sports the cutest mustache in town!
Cute Nate and Grandpa
Grandpa danced with all his girls. I kept thinking how badly I wanted to freeze time. What a special man he is, and what a special part he has in my heart.
