I know that my dad is no longer living but we still like to make his birthday a special day. So today, Friday, June 6, 2008 would have been my dad's 60th birthday. So Aidan and I went to the store and bought his favorite's. Angel food cake, whipped cream (ok it was my favorite not his), strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and hot fudge (again that was for me for after the cake is gone).
We got home to late tonight to make the cake and then to eat it too, but we whipped it up and baked it. We are hoping to enjoy a bit of strawberry shortcake Papa style tomorrow with Kaitlyn and Makenna after dinner. I am watching M&K while their mom and dad go out on a date for their 8th anniversary!!
Aidan has also been singing happy birthday ALL day long. At times it has been a VERY long day because he sings "Happy Birthday to you" over and over and over and over....He finally would say to Papa. So we sang all day. Aidan liked celebrating Papa today and I did too. We talked about all the memories of Papa that I had of him and of him with Aidan. Aidan wondered why we weren't going to Maple Valley to the cemetery to visit him but unfortunately with gas prices these days, I have to be a little bit pickier on where and when I drive. Also, it was a busy day and I was exhausted by the time the day was over. Hopefully for Father's day we'll make it down to visit. Happy Birthday Papa!! We love you and can't wait to see you again!
