Grandpa's 90th Birthday Bash

A couple weekends ago we joined the rest of the Williams' family in Texas for a special celebration . . .
Grandpa Joe's 90th Birthday
Saturday we gathered on the farm for a fun filled day of grilling out and playing with cousins
It took a little extra effort - but the burgers & hot dogs were delicious
Hunter has really gotten into praying for all of our meals, but he was exceptionally sweet as Papa Bob prayed over our lunch - agreeing with him the entire prayer saying, "Tank-choo, tank-choo"
Hunter LOVES his cousins, especially Easton - and boy are these two are going to be trouble . . .
Love my Lil Man
Hunter's hair "twiddling" has taken on a new "twist" . . . his own head of hair
. . . Even his cousin's :) 
And although sometimes annoying and painful - I still can't help but to see the sweetness in this ever worsening habit
The "3 Little Amigos"
Not the best photo - but we enjoyed some really wonderful girl talk
Grandpa received several useful birthday gifts :)
Lindsay & Ryan brought along their new twin babies for all of us to finally meet, Lyla and Landry -- SO ADORABLE
and of course their other two precious little men
Jackson & Brayden
Baby Lilly made her 1st trip to Texas also
Baby Alyssa shared lots of smiles was full of smiles
Kylie created a precious "Family Tree" for us all to fingerprint & sign
We revealed the tree that night at Grandpa's birthday party - at his favorite restaurant - Ryan's
Love & celebration from family and friends filled the small party room
Kylie joined in with me to capture these priceless moments
Amanda presented Grandpa with a beautifully personalized birthday cake she created
Which was DELICIOUS - great job Amanda
We couldn't get over the fact that our little man was the last one to get up from the table - continuing to eat after all the other kiddos were up and playing -  what??  this is not our child.
We wore Grandpa out smiling for pictures  :)
. . . Or maybe it was all the craziness & noise from 15 great-grandchildren in tight quarters 
One things for sure . . . there was no shortage of fun & laughter
There was an attempt to capture some family pictures . . . ha
Brian and his little man
Emily and her 3 beautiful girls
These two sweet babies were having a great time getting to know one another
It was truly a wonderful weekend - Full of love, laughter, and beautiful memories that we will cherish forever
Happy 90th Birthday Grandpa Joe
On Sunday, our family filled Grandpa's old country church, while our children took over the nursery.  It was such a joy for us all to be together celebrating Grandpa, and also Mother's Day. 

Even to your old age and gray hairs 
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
Isaiah 46:4
