Happy Birthday Dad

Today my dad turned 81
I'm thankful to still have my dad to celebrate.

It was a spur of the moment, impromptu gathering. 
A few days ago I sent my siblings a message telling them that Rick and I would be 
taking dad out for lunch on his birthday, and that if they
 could join us on such short notice that would be great.

They all came, 
along with 3 spouses and dad's 3 youngest grandchildren.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

    1. It did surprise me, but everyone just made it happen. Dad seemed so happy, it was nice to be together to celebrate him!

  2. As our parents age, these celebrations (in my opinion) become even more meaningful.
