~ Dad's 76th Birthday ~ Who Knew......

In our true family fashion,

we celebrated my Dad's 76th birthday.

We decided on George's just for

something different, and it's a place

Dad has always liked.  

For as long as I live, this will be 

one of those nights filled

with memories and pictures that

I'll never, ever forget.  

Dad was his silly self for the most part...

We laughed the night away!(:

We love this man!!!!!!!!

I am so thankful that we 

celebrated Dad that night......

Hunter had to work that night

and Macy of course is in Killeen

teaching and coaching;

they would have been there if they could

have been and had they known

this would be our last 

official celebration 

(mostly) whole and healthy.  

Never a dull moment

with the Gibson Girls;)

Boy does this man love his girls!

Dad and his "Sons"

My sweet parents...

with crazy Walker D photo bombing again!

These two...

married for 57 years...

the salt of the earth.    

We so rarely ever take a family

picture of the five of us. 

It's crazy that we did that night

as we were leaving.  

We all hugged and kissed and said

good bye.  I specifically remember

hugging my dad and telling

him bye.  I had absolutely no idea

what the rest of this week 

would hold for him and our family.  

My Facebook post that night was this

picture with these words...

"Happy Birthday to my Sweet Dad. 

So thankful for a dad who has 

done nothing but love and support 

me my whole life. 

I treasure these celebrations SO much!"
