Well after a great day with Dad, we decided to join the rest of his family at the VFW for some dancing and more catching up. Yes, that's right.... I said the rest of his family. 7 of the 9 siblings were there and several of them actually drove in from where they lived and surprised him. He had no idea and couldn't believe they'd all come for his B-day..... Anyway, we went to dinner first where we just laughed our butts off. When more than one of them gets together the stories just start flowing about different memories and things that went on when they were kids. I'm sure when they were kids, it wasn't all so funny but to listen to them tell the stories as adults and especially with all the faces and actions, take my word for it, it's just gut busting laughter. Some of the stories we've never heard before but even the ones we've heard time and time again, still make you laugh so incredibly hard.

One of the most fun things for me is to watch my grandparents dance. They just know each others every move and they dance so in sync. It's tender and gentle and they both smile so much when they're dancing. I just think it's so sweet.

My Aunts. - thanks you so much for coming in to help with this awesome surprise for Dad. He'll never forget this very memorable B-day.

Probably the best part of the night. I love dancing with my Dad, we just sang and laughed and talked a bit but mostly just enjoyed the moment and took it all in. Love you Dad so much!!
