Grandchildren and birthdays!


My Husband and I had the opportunity to spend 3 days last weekend with our daughter and family. Above you can see their their 5 children, our grandchildren. We had a great time. We also celebrated 3 of their birthdays. Chick #4 just had his birthday and chick #2 and #3 have their birthdays in March.


Here is #3 and #4 looking at their gifts from me and Papa, just wishing it was time to open them!


Our oldest daughter always bakes and decorates their cakes and this one was special as it included all 3 of the birthday children. The #4 is for four year old chick #4. After the Happy Birthday song, they each took turns blowing out their set of candles.

The cake had Iron man's head on and was decorated with her very delicious butter frosting.


Mom cuts the cake!
Birthday boy #4 gets to try the first slice of cake! Um-um-um good!
Finally the time has come to open those enticing gifts.
Roller blades for our 10 year old grandson!
The other 2 both received roller skates.

Our 7 year old granddaughter trying out her new roller skates and her stylish hat we gave her.

Don't forget the 4 year old! He had to show off his roller skates too.
All 3 opening their gift from Aunt Lissa and family. WOW! It's a big floor puzzle!

Our oldest granddaughter helps puzzle and fits the last, 60th piece into place. We all had fun looking for certain area's on the world puzzle map.



A special treat for Valentines day, 2 hours at the town roller rink! Hear is mom with 4 of her 5 children. What fun they had! There are not many roller rinks left but we are very happy that this hard wood rink is still in operation. I as a child spent many hours at our country roller rink and both our daughters spent many hours at a Omaha Roller skating rink, they even took dance lessons and can still skate very well!
The baby and me enjoyed watching. Here you can see how she glows during the blue light skating session.
She loves our older, calm and gentle 12 year old dog.
She enjoyed her Valentine gift from us. Look at that smile!


Her hands are constantly in her mouth, I'm thinking it wont be long until those little tooffers start peeking through!


I think our dog loves the special attention even if it means being dressed in different costumes.

Me, my husband with his new suit, along with our 5 grandchildren. We are missing our oldest grandson who's birthday was on Feb. 17th. We are hopefully going to spent the day with them on Feb. 28th.


Me and our youngest grand baby! We had so much fun!
Here she is with Papa, not quite so sure about him!
Mom with her sweet rosy cheek baby.

Family's are such a blessing from God, We give thanks for family and for His gracious Love and care, and for every precious hour we get to spend with them.
