We ended a wonderful weekend by celebrating my dad’s birthday.  We had an amazing meal of tenderloin, mustard roasted potatoes, asparagus and strawberry ice cream.  I admit I totally cheated on dessert, but it’s my dad’s favorite as well as every grandchild’s favorite flavor of ice cream.

When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday meal, I hoped he would want to go out to eat.  But he really wanted to spend time with the grandkids.  While I always enjoy a meal out, I do love how much he loves his grandkids.

I find it really interesting to watch my parents with my kids.  It’s hard to see them as grandparents rather than parents.  I think I have great parents and they have proven over and over to be amazing grandparents.  Although my dad lets my kids get away wtih so much more than he ever let me get away with when I was their age!

Dad, you’re a great father and I appreciate all you do for me.  I wish so much that you would take it easy.  Everyone depends on you, and I know that must be exhausting.  Just know, that I always love you and appreciate all you do and have done for me.
