A 91st Birthday with a Family Get-Together!

One of the great-grandpas of the family turned 91 in February.  We are very thankful for him and the years with which God has blessed him.  Here are a few pictures of the event- including a family get-away to Estes Park.  We were glad to get away for a night, and enjoyed the time with extended family.

Happy birthday!  Yep- that's only three candles.  91 candles would probably cause a house fire, or at the very least set off the smoke alarm!

Here's most of the group enjoying some sledding.
The two of us squeezed on to one sled- whoo-hoo!!!
We made the corner in the road...
...and proceeded straight into a snow berm from a snow plow.  Umph!
Later, Silas and Amelie convinced some grown-ups to play Candy Land with them.  Amelie will play Candy Land anywhere, any time, with anyone who is available and willing!
Then, of course, there was play dough and cousins...
...while a good game of Balderdash was had by the adults.  There are some weird words out there!  And a nice time was had by all.  :-)
