A reason to celebrate!
This weekend we travelled to Louisiana for PawPaw's (my dad's dad) 95th birthday party. Pretty impressive to live that long and have done so much good for others. My uncle put it nicely when he said that in life we encounter so many people who do things to you. But, with PawPaw, he always does things for you.
My Aunt Angie planned a very nice party at Ralph and Kacoo's in Shreveport. The place was great and so accommodating. A perfect space for over 50 people -- and that was just family.
Look at our little Mardi Gras king! Aunt Angie gave all of us this picture, which is already in a frame in our house.
It was so fun to get together and celebrate!

Aunt Angie also had all of the family members bring pictures of Paw Paw over the years.
This is a picture of PawPaw standing in front of the billboard ad he was on, advertising the Shreveport Times.

Your Paw Paw is so cute :-) I'm glad you all were able to help him celebrate such a milestone birthday!
