Happy Birthday Jim! (all week!)

 This last week, Jim had a milestone...the big 65! Being the leader of the congregation, he gets to celebrate with many people. 

 The church hosted a potluck lunch...

with lots of delicious food...

 ...and ice cream sundaes! Jim's favorite!

 We had the privilege of having our oldest grand-daughters and their mom here for the day to help celebrate.  First they had to make cards...

 After naps, we had a little "tea" party on the back patio.

We had a fun and very relaxing afternoon 

 (look at that cute chocolate-face!)

 Next, we walked to the local park to play for awhile. Then it was time for PJ's, storybooks, and our good-byes as they headed home to see daddy. Thanks to you three girls-- for making it a special Sunday birthday party!

 Yesterday, our oldest son and family came for the afternoon to continue the birthday celebrations! 

 First we got to play with toys.

 (checking out mom's apps)

 Little mr. smiley!

 It was a beautiful afternoon, so we headed outside for some bike riding...

 some catch...

 and later, writing on Grandpa's cards... 

 ...a very serious business!

 Such fun to be Grandpa's boys!

 time for some corn on the cob...

 ...and cool shades!

 Jim had gotten a call from JJ earlier in the week with the instructions, "Tell Gramma not to start the party until I get there!" And he wanted to bring the decorations...

 ...and to help sing the birthday song!

We had a wonderful afternoon, thanks for coming, kids!

Happy Birthday, Jim! We all love you!
