Grandpa Turns 77!!!

For My Grandpa's 77th birthday his kids planned a surprise party in his hometown of Burnet Texas. We all had so much fun and he really seemed to enjoy himself.

He was truly surprised when he walked through the door. It was a great reaction. He shut the door and walked away.

His "Lucky 7's" cake. Thank goodness we didn't try to put all 77 candles!
Look at the family that he created!! We are blessed to be so close even as we have grown so large.

We found a park on Saturday where Jesse led a war with recycled tire rubber. My husband invents the funniest games sometimes and the kids have a blast.
Katie plays on the jungle gym.
