Family and friends came to Canby, January 2nd to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. I asked Dad to retell Grandma Pearson’s recollection of the day he was born: –42 degrees below zero in Morris, Minnesota and every time they brought him in from the nursery to see her he was blue. Annie was wide eyed and amazed. “That’s cold!”
I love my Dad so much! He is the most loyal, loving and caring person I know! He loves his family and cherishes each of us individually. I love that he tells us he loves us…but also shows us in kind and practical ways that suit our own personalities. I love that Dad prays for me and sends me notes of encouragement throughout the year. I love that he is an awesome grandpa to both of my children and loves them to pieces (while of course spoiling them rotten). I love that he has taught me to love the Lord with all my heart and has modeled how to parent, following the advice of Deuteronomy 6:5-9. Thanks Dad…may this year be the best yet!!!
We all had a great evening together. Dinner for our family at 5:30pm and then extended family and friends came at 7pm for dessert! A fun shot of the the sisters! I had to include it! I just wish I looked as good as the other three.
