My dad turned the big 6 0 on Wednesday~ leaving us with another great reason to celebrate! We've become quite efficient at throwing parties and this was no exception~ much thanks to my mom and grandmother. How blessed we are to have all of our family so close! There are many qualities that make my Dad the amazing person that he is~ here are my top ten :)
10- Story Telling~ I still remember the stories he would read to us complete
with character voices and expressions.
9- Jokester~ He is also wonderful at telling jokes for the same reasons :) and his laughter is contagious!
8- Fixer Upper~ He wears his "Tim the Tool man" belt proudly. He is always willing to help us
out on any project.
7- Patience~ whether it was trying to teach me golf or how to drive a stick shift, he never lost his cool.
6- Cooking~ He is just fabulous and never afraid to experiment :)
5- Thoughtful and Creative~ He puts thought and creativity into most everything. With my mom's help, the two of them come up with the best ideas!
4- Honest and Fair~ My dad has always taught me to listen to both sides of every story and to be truthful. He practices his own advice.
3- Genuine~ My dad is who he is~ he makes no apologies for this.
2- Wise~ He has the best advice- usually given by a story or a quirky little saying.
1- Unconditional Love~ No matter what, my dad always offers a soft place to land. What a comforting feeling it is to be held in his arms.
Love you Dad~ Thanks for everything!

No Birthday would be complete without presents... I love how excited my dad gets :)
Melissa, Ben, & the girls had this sign made for my Dad's new shed.
Mom found this mug- it was hysterical when my dad opened it and realized his photo was on the side. I wish we had a video~ we just couldn't stop giggling :)
To the "Greatest Grandpa"~ Happy Happy Birthday!
