80 Years

This weekend we traveled to Dallas to celebrate my PawPaw's 80th birthday. We enjoyed lots of time with our family while we were there.

On my PawPaw's actual birthday, we ate BBQ at my sister's. She and her husband have recently purchased some land so we enjoyed spending some time there.

Does this man look 80 to you???

My sister recently got a horse, so Gus enjoyed his first horseback ride.


I rode her horse in my Sperry Top Siders...

Gus enjoyed lots of time with MiMi and Big Daddy

Here are a few other pics from the evening:



The next day we celebrated with a big dinner with all of my Uncle's family too.

While we were in Dallas, I had to make a visit to NorthPark. Gus enjoyed seeing the ducks.

We got so many fun pictures, but I know I can't share them all. We had such a wonderful time celebrating. My grandfather is one of the sweetest, kindest men I know. Gus is named for my grandfather's father. My great-grandfather immigrated here from Greece. My great-grandmother died shortly after my grandfather was born, so my grandfather was adopted. He has come such a long way in his life and has seen so much. I know that all his hard work has made things so much better for us. I am lucky to have such an amazing heritage. (I just wish I had inherited some of that Greek skin!! ;)) Special weekends like this one remind me how blessed I am . I have such a wonderful family. God is so good.
