Happy Birthday Papa

Today is my grandpa's, or papa's, as we like to call him, birthday.  Living in the same town as my grandparents has allowed us to form a special bond with our grandparents that many don't ever get a chance to experience.  I have very fond memories of going over to grandma's and papa's house and having papa help me climb the tree or ride a bicycle or scooter. 

When we would go over to their house for grandma to give us piano lessons, Papa was always there to keep the rest of us entertained while we waited our turn for lessons.  I am so thankful for all of the years I have been blessed with this special grandparent.

Yesterday we had grandma and papa come over to celebrate papa's birthday with a birthday lunch.  While we were together we took the pictures above with Papa.  Happy birthday, Papa!  I love you!!!
