Our Poppa is 80...I mean 29

Our Poppa is 80 today!! Although he claims to always be "29" we have kept track over the years and decided that on this birthday we would celebrate and have a special party for him. So Amy organized everything, assigned jobs to people, and I helped out by creating the invite for the party. Part of it is below. I didn't think my cousin would appreciate me blogging her address and phone number to the world, so I cut the bottom off.

 It was really the perfect day for a party. All of the family was in town and special visitors came from Chicago and Alabama! Nanny and Poppa watched the kids swim in the pool and visited with everyone.
 Reagan got to enjoy lunch with cousin Kati who used to take care of her when she was little.
 Jayden was able to play with some sidewalk chalk, ride a trike, and swim in the pool.
 Livia went on a ride with Uncle Mike. She really likes to ride the bike!
 Of course, Aaron had to go on a joy ride too!

 Poppa was able to enjoy some time with his younger sisters, Joan and Faye. Joan came down from Chicago and Faye drove all the way up from Alabama!


 We sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed some cake and ice cream while enjoying the weather outside.
Time was also spent looking at old pictures from back in the day and enjoying stories from the past.

Happy 80th Birthday, Poppa! You've got a crew of people who love you. We hope you enjoyed your party! I bet you can't believe all the people who came to a party that was "just for you"!
