Grandpa Turns 95

Thanks to my great hubby and friend Donna (who took care of the girls), I was able to fly home to Minnesota with Caleb in mid-March to celebrate my Grandpa's 95th birthday.  Not everybody gets to celebrate such a milestone!  My parents, my sister Kaylee, and all three of her kids met us at the airport.  This was Caleb's first time meeting my Grandpa, sister and her hubby, and two of their kids.

 I surprised Grandpa at his apartment on the morning of his actual birthday.  I kept my trip home a secret, and called him on the phone about 10 min. before we showed up on his doorstep (he thought I was calling from MS).  As we were talking, I knocked on the door and he excused himself from the phone to see who was visiting.  Little did he know it was Caleb and I!  I love his expression in this pic as he holds Caleb for the first time.


 Our family threw Grandpa a birthday party at the retirement home where he lives.  This is us at the party.


A rather rare shot of my immediate family!
