over the weekend we celebrated my gramdpa peterson's 96 birthday!
you read that right, NINETY-SIX!
can you imagine all that he has witnessed in his life
he is your typical jolly happy 'little' grandpa
of course he has the best stories(still has a great memory), he is lovable, kind, and so giving
I remember bragging as a child that my grandpa gave me a 100 dollars for every birthday and christmas
he has lived the last 10 years or so alone
he cared for my grandma until the day she passed and he misses her so much
the day was special
he talked about the wonderful family we were and how proud he was to have us all
he talked about how happy my grandma must be watching the family grow and all the little ones
he did a little jig as we sang happy birthday to him
he gave us all 10 dollars because he thought we were perfect 10's in his eyes
and of course he was wearing a bright colorful shirt
last year we bought 95 balloons and individually staked them in the front yard
right after we finished... before a picture could even be taking they are started to pop
after about 2 minutes we literally only had about 20 balloons left
this year we went a little more simple and all the great-grandkids helped make a banner
mack dressed up for the occassion and wore a tie
some of the kiddos with the banner
mrs. bakers tasty cake
such a cutie
he blew them all out
