Happy Birthday Dad

Yesterday was Dad's birthday and we had a little party at the house for him. After church we headed back to the house for finger sandwiches. Everyone was there.

Caroline and John love balloons! Of course they each got a balloon for Uncle Dennis' birthday.

My sweet Caroline and James. Aren't they so cute?

John John with his Grandpa. Doneece and I have started calling him Grandpa Uncle Darrel. We figure it covers all the basis. John loves putting puzzles together. He has gotten really good at them. It is so sweet to sit down and do a puzzle with John. I am really going to miss this.

Uncle Dennis, Caroline and John. Mom made Chocolate Chip Pies for Dad for his birthday. We put a candle in each pie so both Caroline and John could blow out a candle. John took a practice run. As soon as Doneece got the candle lit John blew it out. We re-lit the candle and actually made it through the song before he blew it out again. Caroline knows the drill and got it right.

John and Ann. Such a cute picture of the two of them. Love them tons!

Caroline thinks it is hilarious to stick out her tongue for pictures. Of course she doesn't have to do much to convince James. The hard part was getting John on board. They got him on board, but he just opened his mouth and forgot to stick out his tongue. The boy is so funny.

He finally got it.

After lunch was over I braided Caroline's hair. I took this flower out of her hair and added it to mine to hold my bangs back. Mom thought it was so cute she made Doneece take a picture. I think the flower looks better in Caroline's hair.

Happy Birthday Dad! So glad James and I got to spend your birthday with you. Thanks for being such a wonderful day. We are all so blessed!
