Al had his
69th birthday this week and tonight we got to celebrate. We had a delicious dinner and a delicious desert (
hahaa... I made the desert so of course I think it was pretty good). Looking at the picture above I can only imagine Al had a great day as well. All but one of his
grand kids lives in Utah now and having them all here must be very nice for him (it is for us). I can't say enough about how much we love Grandpa Al. He is a fun, loving, easy to talk to, at times strict (wink, wink) grandpa, who loves his
grand kids and shows it. He is affectionate with them and loves the little babies. He is a great laugh and we certainly love to be part of his family. Al always makes me laugh, sometimes to the point of tears or
embarrassment. Needless to say we have a great time with him.
WE LOOOOOVE YOU AL!
More than we can ever express or even let you know.
You are wonderful to all of us. XXX's and OOO's
For future reference: One of Al's favorite deserts is German Chocolate Cake, the one Karen used to make, so I gave it a go. All from scratch, just to make him happy, well it wasn't good enough. Of course Karen's was better, well turns out she makes her cake from a box and he could careless about the cake, he just wanted the frosting! Next time that is ALL he is getting... Frosting. (I know he appreciated my efforts, after all its the thought that counts, right?)

Sounds like it was a great birthday party.
It sounds like so much fun! Good job on making the cake from scratch! That's funny that it was just the box and all he wanted was the frosting! I bet he appreciated more than you will ever know!
He is a very cute grandpa. Hope he had a good 69th!
