So last Saturday we got to celebrate the birthday of my absolutely wonderful father-in-law. (I seriously married into a wonderful family that I adore) He turned 80!! The best part...it was a surprise party!! First it was just the immediate family that was there. We had lunch, a slideshow of pictures of grandpa, a cake......
He got a totally awesome hat from a friend....
We gave him a book of pictures from his life....
His brother even came and surprised us all from California.
After a couple hours his friends started coming (which was also a surprise for him). It was so fun to see how many people love and adore him (we're guessing it was over 100!). He truly is a great man and has been a joy in my life and my kids life. And he raised the best man in the world (my hubby) so that goes to show you what kind of a man he is. What a handsome devil! We love you grandpa Maughan!
We also took advantage of the last free zoo day of the season. Too bad it was cold and snowy but we still had a good time!
This monkey was so weird. He just stood on top of the tree with his arms outstretched. I don't know if he was trying to get some extra vitamin D or if he was praying to the Almighty. Maybe a little bit of both? I had to take a picture of him. He did this the entire time we were in the monkey house.
Then we had our dentist appointments (yuck). Josh had his first cavity......at least it's all good for picture purposes.
And after having a "trial emergency" at our house for family night a few weeks ago, and finding out that ALL of our food expired in 2005. Ummm oops. Same year Rachel was born. Guess it's been longer than I thought......Let's just say our plan of eating dinner only from our 72 hours kits didn't really work. But surprisingly the fruit roll-ups were still quite tasty. We finally got organized again and I'm feeling lots better about our new 72-hour kits and food storage.
