We opted for one candle. But it was still exciting.
I prepared a meal after church at my house. What can I say, the fam lives dangerously.

My daddy and me. His great granddaughter, my brother's granddaughter in the picture above, made the butterfly for him. Dad was 40 when I was born. They tell me he danced a little jig that day with our pastor at the hospital when they told him, "It's a girl." My heart dances when I'm with him. February 11 is really the day. Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you!

What a lovely post :) Great pictures to!
Oh, happy birthday to your Dad! A jig?! That makes me smile. I'm sure you've been a huge blessing to him.
This is just precious. . .I love that your Daddy danced a little jig. I have a friend with a similar story, but her momma sent her daddy to buy some shoes to take her home from the hospital--there was a cold snap and her mother wanted shoes--but when he came back from the store, rather than just some regular baby shoes, he had bought embroidered, silk, brocade slippers.
He was a country farmer from Yahoo-ville, Texas, but he forever more bought his baby girl some shoes.
So sweet. Aren't parents the best? I love that last picture of you two. Happy Birthday to your Daddy!!
