This afternoon our family celebrated my Dad’s 80th birthday. It was fun to be together and to honor our Dad. The next-to-the-newest family member freely shared smiles with everyone.
The cake was half carrot cake and half chocolate cake. Carrot cake was Dad’s request.
Once they started putting candles on the cake, they decided to go all the way to 80.
Lighting all those candles was the next step.
Some of the great-grands were happy to help Great-grandpa blow out his candles.
Surprisingly, we didn’t set off the smoke detectors.
Cake was enjoyed by all.
We gave Dad a DNA kit for his birthday. One of those kits where you send in a swab and get back an analysis of your family heritage. We are hoping the results will be useful in our genealogy research. Dad was surprised and is looking forward to getting the results back.
Happy birthday, Dad! It was great to see you today. Thanks for all you do for our family!
