Day Ninety

The Sixty-Fifth Year of Papa


You can't beat family. Especially on Papa's 65th birthday. And even though some of the crew was missing, you wouldn't have noticed amidst the raising decibel level of the crazy household. We enjoyed a yummy winter meal and topped it off with a Costco red velvet birthday cake. Mmmmm. We LOVE coming to Grama and Papa's house! They're always spoiling us with the best stories, the best recipes, and the best laughs. And if you ever get caught alone with Papa, you've got to prepare yourself for the long haul: he's a walking encyclopedia of the most bizarre information you couldn't even try to make up. And he's sure to paint the most vivid picture possible. He's one heck of a character, and we're so blessed to call him ours. I've yet to meet a man who's as hospitable and thorough as Papa, and nothing beats his hugs. The giggles, collections, shouts, and finger pickings of my dear friend are uniquely his own, and one day, if nothing else, we'll convince him that hotdog-mayonaise-honeymustard sandwiches are just wrong. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA! WE LOVE YOU FOREVER!
