Happy Birthday Dad and Grandpa

Today would have been my dad's 82nd birthday -
It's hard to believe he's been gone over a year now - sure do miss him.
I posted this same picture 3 years ago on his birthday - just doing a little reminiscing!
His dad's -( my grandpa's) birthday is also today - not sure how old he would be!
Happy Birthday to two great men in my life!

The Seven Dwarfs

When we got to the end they turned out the lights and we started our "Hold to the Rod" as we went back out. (A lady that works there had wrote the script - it was a neat experience.)

The "Tree of Life" - we had a bag for each girl with a temple, mirror, and CD in them.

Opening their bags - and then had Testimony Meeting around the fire.
