It is rare to get the whole family together. \u00a0What a blessing to have my dad’s side together to celebrate my grandather’s 90th birthday!<\/p>\n

Grandpa Jerry is the perfect example of growing older well. \u00a0I often halfway joke that he will outlive me. \u00a0I am so glad that I have his genes in me. \u00a0There is hope that I can live a long, full life as well.<\/p>\n

My wonderful aunt and uncle hosted the celebration at their condo. It was an intimate affair with just the nuclear family. \u00a0We had a professional photographer come and chronicle the day. \u00a0I don’t have those shots yet. \u00a0Here are some personal ones…<\/p>\n

We had a competition between my dad’s side and aunt’s side of the family of who knew more about Grandpa. \u00a0One of the questions was how many of his descendants were taller than him. \u00a0Here are the guys all lined up. \u00a0My grandfather is far left, then my dad Gary, my brother Devin, my cousin Robyn’s husband Dan, my uncle Bob, my cousin Terry, and my hubby David…<\/p>\n

My auntie had a lovely bouquet on the food table…she had Whole Foods cater the lunch. \u00a0It was delish!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Me and my precious brother, Devin. \u00a0He is an awesome LITTLE<\/em> brother!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The great-grandkids patiently waiting for great-grandpa to blow out his candles!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As a family gift, we made a group graphic tribute. I had the daughter of a friend create the art and type. \u00a0I love how it turned out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Grandpa gifted us his printed autobiography. \u00a0We had him sign them. \u00a0I was able to read it in its entirety while riding from WA to ID. \u00a0I loved it!! \u00a0He covered not only details of family history, but also specifics of early 20th century farm life, and WW2 from the eyes of a pilot. \u00a0He added his views of education and politics, and a little custom poetry! \u00a0It is something I will always treasure.<\/p>\n
