Happy Birthday Dad!

Friday was my dad's ## birthday, for the convenience of all involved we celebrated last night. Since Ethan has his grandfather wrapped around his finger, and Ethan loves trains, we went to Giuseppe's, a restaurant that was an old train depot. Per the request of my father, it was a small gathering, the family and Chuck and Diane, an extension to the family.
Ethan did a very good job at the restaurant, he was very loud but just excited loud, not cranky.

No one but mom and I were taking pictures so this is our self portrait
This was the excited face of a train going by, and when anyone looked away he'd grunt at you and point to the train, like "You're missing it!!"
Since we were asked not to throw a big hoopla for his birthday, and it is a special birthday, we made him this:
We wrote down ## things that we thought of when we think of him, memories, qualities, etc. and put them together for him to read.

This is Ethan making a bee line for the presents when he thought no one was watching

Memories
I got two pictures of my dad with Mike is laughing in the background, at different times, we have good times
Happy birthday Dad/Papa/Sir/Steve!!
