Dad's 70th Birthday

On Friday, March 20th we celebrated Dad's 70th birthday. All of his kids , their spouses (including Greg who was able to get away from the farm) and all the grandchildren (11 + 1 yet to be born) met at our house for the day. In the morning we had a photographer come in to take pictures of the whole family. The pictures below were taken during that time but are not the pictures that the photographer took. Here is dad opening one of the many many birthday cards he received. It was a good time to sit around and here him talk about old and recent friends as he opened and read cards to us.
