Julie gets Old...

Julie's 60th birthday came and went this past week. We tried to shower her with gifts to make her feel loved, special and an important part of our lives. She has been instrumental in helping us this past several years. I cannot imagine where my life would be without her. She is one amazing lady and I am so lucky that she chooses to claim us as family.

We had to find pink gerbera daisies since they are her favorites. Everyone should receive beautiful flowers on your birthday, especially big ones. They make all okay.

Hayden did a great job trying to pick out special presents for Grandma Julie. He made her a special picture, bought her an ornament for her Christmas tree and helped us get her a new purse.

Hayden sat right by her side as she opened each card and gift. He was so excited to make her day and bring happiness to her.

He loves when he does a good thing or picks the perfect present. He knew he nailed it this year with a ornament with a poem about a grandson loving a grandma. Too cute.

I love Julie's face in this one as she is reading Thomas' card. Thomas sure enjoys mocking her, teasing her and joking around with her. It said something about don't worry about getting older, you were already old last year.

We love you, Julie! Thanks for being a very special part of our lives!
