Sunday, the 15th was Grandpa’s birthday! He would have been 56 this year. Aikman knew him of course but Pippa and Adrian never got the chance to so every year when his and Gigi’s birthdays roll around, I want to celebrate with their favorite cake and favorite food or something that reminds us of them. We will have a small party in their honor. We will take balloons out to the cemetery and everyone will let them go. I thought the kids might enjoy it and look forward to it and we all share a special memory of them for the kids to hear. We celebrated his birthday Monday since that was the time everyone could be together. We headed out to the cemetery and then after naps to Tio and Tia’s to eat. What else screams “dad/grandpa” more than grilling! We had hamburgers, sausage, potato salad, beans, chips, salsa, guacamole and jalapeno popper dip. Of course we had to toast with a corona. It was all amazing. We also made his favorite carrot cake! It was a nice evening with all of us together. Happy Birthday Dad!
