Happy 80th Birthday Papa!

On Saturday we celebrated my Papa's 80th Birthday. Can you believe it! It was partially a surprise. My Papa thought that we were celebrating birthdays like usual with immediate family but instead we planned a larger shin-dig. My Papa is very sneaky because when he walked in the front door and saw everyone waiting on the kitchen porch he went to the other porch and surprised us. I believe he saw the food, which lured him in that direction but he said otherwise. Papa I love and thank you for everything you have done and still doing for our family. You have taught me to be family oriented, sarcastic (not always good), loving, dedicated, hard working, and most of all a procrastinator, J/K kinda. We have so many awesome memories and I will have them with me always. Love you with all my heart! My Aunt traveled from out of state to surprise my Papa. He never shows his emotions but it was hard for him to dismiss it this time. My Papa said, "How can I not have emotions."
Everyone got together and thought up of eighty reasons why we love our Papa. Some are loving, and some are silly. Thank you Auntie L for putting together this beautiful frame and thank you K for putting together the video of Papa's life.

After singing our version of the Birthday Song Papa blew out his candles except for one.
