One of the reasons Bill and I wanted to move back to UT was to be closer to our own family and our extended family, especially our "aging parents." (I consider myself an "aging parent," so do not want that phrase to imply I think my parents are really old haha.)
Well, my dad went and aged some more, and we were so glad to be able to celebrate with him.
Taylor and Lynnea came into town that day (they drove straight to Bountiful), and we were so happy that they could join us. Grandma and Grandpa G hadn't been able to see them the last time they had come to town, so it worked out perfectly.
Mi mamita made a yummy dinner, then mi padre blew out candles on his cake.
We thought it was hilarious when Grandma pulled out some matches to light the candles... it was a match box from Austin and Britt's wedding.
That was nearly 10 years ago.
(could not get mi padre to crack a smile, though)
(For whatever reason, when I put my iphone camera on a timer, it takes a burst shot, which gives me a boatload of pics... all of which are a bit blurry. Boo. Gotta figure that out.)
Mar's friend Jonah stopped by to meet Grandma and Grandpa, and he and Mar sang for us.
V took 500 pictures on my phone ;-)
Tay and Evie shared their musical talents with us, too.
These pics of NJ are so funny. I don't know why she was so unhappy...
(could it be that she had had a very long day of travel followed by lots of over-stimulating togetherness with somewhat unfamiliar people? possibly)
but her momma got a smile out of her.
It was so amazing to be able to spend time with family as we celebrated... aging.
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Just a little parting shot before hitting the hay...
we were so excited to have Tay, Nae, V, and NJ staying with us for a while.
