The main purpose of our trip was to surprise my grandfather for his 80th birthday. My mom and dad arranged for a party at his favorite restaurant which he had no idea about. He thought he was just meeting one of his brother's for lunch but to his surprise his family was there to celebrate his special day. It was wonderful celebrating his birthday and I enjoyed catching up with my cousins that I have not seen since my wedding.
The surprise. My grandfather immediately saw my brother and quickly figured out what was going on.

Emma loved playing my grandmother's organ. It was so special watching her play it since I grew up with her playing it for me. I only wish Emma could have met her and heard her play.
Such a special day! I am so glad we were able to be there on my grandfather's 80th birthday. He is my last grandparent and these moments are very important. Happy Birthday to my wonderful grandfather!
