Papa turns 50!

Yes, that is right, Rowen's Papa turned 50 on the 9th. We had a full weekend of celebrating our wonderful, loving, adventurous Papa (or dad to me:))!

Happy 50th Birthday Papa/Uncle Tom!

Gigi, Papa, and Great Grandma Carol
Grandma Carol said that on the day Papa was born, it was just as hot as July 9, 2010- which was pretty darn hot! Grandma Carol has always said that her boy, Tommy, was the sweetest, most happy baby ever. I don't know if we can say the same for the 50 year old version but he is still pretty great!

One of Papa's many amazing birthday gifts. This one is from Gigi- I am sure we will see Papa wearing it in the garage as he brews his next batch of beer :).

And of course we had to have Papa's favorite- Edge Brownies. Rowen thoroughly enjoyed singing Happy Birthday to Papa and Olivia and Rowen helped to blow out all of those candles!

What a fun party it was... lots of amazing food, drinks, laughs, more drinks, more laughs, until late into the night. Happy Birthday Dad! We all love you more than you could ever know.

The festivities didn't end here... the next day Papa's colleagues threw him a party at a beautiful home up North. We enjoyed more great food, beer, and gifts. Lucky guy!
