T-pa turns 90

My grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday this past weekend in Temple. We were SO glad we were able to be there with him and the rest of the family (most of them anyways). We loaded up early Saturday morning, drove to Brownwood, ate at Underwoods (you would have thought it was Christmas morning the way my husband was acting....I've never seen him so excited since our wedding day! kidding...kind of)...and then arrived in Temple around 3. We freshened up a bit and headed to T-pa's house....decked out in our Tech gear since the game was that night.

The boys immediately found the mud and dirt to play in...found some roly poly's...lost said roly polys, and spent the rest of the night looking for the roly poly. And yes, once it got dark they still were looking, they just found some flashlights to help out.
Luckily, D-ma came to the rescue with a basket full of toys, and they also LOVED T-pa's walker/chair thing. They were all great and had a great time!

We had a great dinner with lasagna, bread and salad, but the best part was the amazing chocolate cake....T-pa would definitely agree!

We were so glad we could be there with our T-pa. It was the longest, shortest trip ever, but we wouldn't have missed it. Not everyone gets to celebrate their loved one's 90th Birthday. We love you, T-pa! We hope you had a great birthday surrounded by the people who love you most!
