(Great) Grandpa

My grandpa turned 89 this year. He is an amazing man.

Grandpa and Grandma were married for over 50 years before she started to show signs of Alzheimer's. Then Grandpa spent the next 10 years, all day, everyday, caring for his wife in anyway that he could. His life taught all of us what love is. Now that Grandma has passed away, Grandpa still carries around her pictures, and talks about her all of the time. There is nothing that brings him more joy than his family.

So for Grandpas (December) birthday party I made him a...

Family (Christmas) Tree cake


There is a candy ornament for the initials of everyone in the family.

We decorated his new house for the party. And Grandma's picture sits on the mantle.

She loved hosting, parties, and people in general.


After blowing out his candle, Grandpa wanted to cut the first piece...


...and serve it to Toby. I came by my dessert portions honestly.
World's Biggest Piece of Cake.
