We celebrated Shawn's Grandpa's birthday on Sunday. He turned 80 on the 13Th. We had a cookout with the family and then a homemade cake.
Shawn's grampa is one of my most favorite people on the planet. He is smart, funny and a more devoted family man, you will never meet. And I am sincerely grateful for the influence he has had on Shawn in making him the man he is today.
But because it is a family full of smart alecks, there were numerous jokes about how many packages of candles had to be used on the cake, the necessity of having a fire extinguisher on hand, and will we be able to light all the candles before the first candles melt into the cake?
The answer to that was a big fat "no".
Here is a picture of Shawn putting his engineering degree to work and using a fork to light the candles we can't reach.
It was a big milestone and a fun day, albeit a smokey one.
All of the best people were born in February! (with some March, June and September exceptions). Less than 1 month!!!!
