My grandpa (mother's father) had a birthday 2 days before Christmas as we were lucky enough to celebrate it with him. We tried to make it special for him; having a birthday right before Christmas is rough. He said growing up his mother always made sure to keep it special for him, never using Christmas wrapping paper for gifts, etc. He was turning 78, so you can imagine there isn't much he wants or needs for gifts at this point. The girls made him breakfast in bed--grits with bacon and cheese and some hot cocoa. Nick grilled some tasty BBQ for dinner and we made his favorite, german chocolate cake for dessert.
The kids loooove to help with baking, it takes 4 times as long with their "help" but it's important to me that they learn to cook and bake and hopefully enjoy it.
Tasty dinner!

Gift time!
All the kiddos and their Great Grandpa J
Licking the candles. There was a big bite taken out of the ones W licked off, haha
A little dancing after dessert
W loves snuggling, he was in heaven with extra grandmas and grandpas to snuggle him all day.
Happy Birthday Grandpa J!
