So I have to preface this post by saying, I didn't take any other pictures than these. And by the pictures, you'd think that it was just our little family that went bowling and that we invited my dad to come with us. But that is not the true story. The real story goes: For Christmas, we gave my dad a coupon to go bowling with us. But then, come May, when we still hadn't used it - we decided to invite the whole family to come bowling for his birthday! All of my siblings were there (all 5 of us, plus all of our spouses where applicable), and all of the grandkids. My mom and dad were both there and we took up several lanes at the Morgan Bowling Alley. It was SUCH a fun afternoon with everyone. WHY didn't I get more pictures? WHY?
I'll just say that I love my family and I love that we are able to do things like this together.
And here are a couple of the cute pictures that we did catch:
My dad is a wonderful Grandpa and he had almost as much fun bowling with these kids as they did with him. We are lucky to have him, and lucky to have such a wonderful family to spend time with.
Some things I love about my dad:
1. He's incredibly kind, patient, loving, and giving.
2. He makes me laugh because he's so funny.
3. He was always a cool dad, and growing up my friends and I liked to hang out with him all the time.
4. He can fix basically anything and he never gets impatient or frustrated when we are all constantly coming to him for help.
5. He is a great husband to my mom, and I'm grateful for his example of marriage.
6. He goes to the temple regularly and bears his testimony of Jesus Christ frequently.
7. He loves his family, and shows it through his words and actions.
8. He sometimes worries about his introvertedness and awkwardness (I inherited these things from him), but he's the most sincere, wonderful person - you can't help but love him.
We love you Grandpa! Happy Birthday (and Merry Christmas!)
