Grandpa's 70th extravaganza


lots of this....

Tons of this...


even some of this....


and plenty of random fun like this....



We all met together in Vegas to celebrate Grandpa Young's 70th birthday.  Jessica was also the birthday girl (happy 23!)

but instead of relaxing like a birthday girl should, she was the one who was behind all the party planning, and everything turned out great.  Of course all that the kids wanted to do was run around Grandpa's house like wild banshees (which they did). We also had a pizza party (good idea), ventured on to the strip (bad idea)

while the girls went swimming (good idea).  For the actual party we had a barbeque, a "toast" where each family got a chance to share some thoughts about Grandpa,



then played "pin the hair on grandpa"


and had cake and ice-cream (where the kids argued over who got to eat grandpa's eyeballs).


I always take a few (okay more like 50) too many pictures at family functions, but I love seeing the cousins playing together and want to capture every minute (which I literally did).  It was such a fun weekend and a great excuse to celebrate a wonderful man, happy birthday Grandpa, we love you !

What a wonderful family celebration! Looks like lots of fun. I'm glad you were able to make and that the kids were able to have some wild banshee time with their cousins:) I love the pin the hair on grandpa game! How funny!

I loved this posting on my dad's birthday! I need to email you the pictures of Kylie swimming with Amanda and Kelsey. All of us should have went swimming at Jessica's pool instead of half going to the strip. The girls had a great time! We loved seeing you and your family.
