An Important Birthday

Today we celebrated our fearless leaders day of birth.  He turned 61!  The grand kids talked about it all day and were excited to have a night with their pop.  Traffic was crazy trying to get home from work and by the time we got back to the restaurant we were the last ones to get there. All the kids greeted him loudly... and the grand kids were all hollering for pop!!!  Dennis thought it was just going to be us for dinner and was surprised to see the kids and friends.

Steve and Tracey came at the drop of a hat, which was so nice!  literally they had zero notice!  Steve said Dennis is lucky he is Dennis! lol  I didn't even have time to call Guy and Denise who I know would have been there too!  Everything happened fast!

We all sat at this long table and the grand kids were in and out and up and down and under the table.  going between whatever family member they wanted to see.  But the were all so good! Evelyn would NOT leave her pops side.  She kept telling him she had a pocket..  And Sammi sat at his other side and talk in her Sammi talk!    Of course, the damn politics talk started!  Ben is very smart with that.  Tanner is great at explaining it to dummies like me and Matthew just wants to stir the pot!

After we ate, the kids gave dad his presents and hugs all around as we left.  I think he had a good time and know how important he is to his family.
