A Special Birthday

Over New Years weekend we celebrated my grandpa’s 90th birthday! He has lived an amazing life and has an awesome family.

We got there early so we could get a little extra time with my grandma and grandpa.

My grandpa got an awesome gift from the whole family. In May for Memorial Day, my grandpa gets to raise the American flag at the Minnesota Twins Game. How cool is that?? He was speechless with some tears in his eyes as he read it. What’s also great is almost the whole family will be there at the game to watch.

After he opened his big gift, it was time for cake! My nephew Westin was excited because he got to eat the piece with his face on it.

The rest of the time we enjoyed our time with everyone. I got to catch up with my cousin Jackie who lives in Memphis. We were really close growing up. Practically sisters!

Us with our girls

Hailey and Payton (second cousins) Hmm this picture looks familiar….

Oh yeah! It looks like a picture of Jackie and I when we were little! I am two years older than her and now her daughter is older than Hailey

Finally, a big family picture with four generations. We had everyone there except for one cousin! But we got to see her at Thanksgiving.

I’d say that’s a good looking (and big) family.

That night we drove home in a really bad snow storm. We were thankful we made it home safely!

We love you so much Grandpa! (aka Great Grandpa Zins)
