Guess Who's Eighty-Five??

I know ... we can hardly believe it either but my grandpa ... known around the block as Howie and to our two boys as How How turned EIGHTY-FIVE today!
I'm telling you ... even the little kid is shocked! 85?? He doesn't look a day over 50!
To start off the festivities ... a forced family photo. We have screaming ... the classic "deer in headlights" look from E and the birthday boy ... calm, cool and collected!
Then a walk to visit our local donkey, Tabasco. Joshua was explaining to How How that they (Tabasco and the two black sheep) were taking a nap.
YUMMY! The birthday boy got $10 of credit at The Farm Grill ... I brought along PB and J sandwiches for the younger crew ...
And E decided that ketchup was his new best friend!
We're an equal opportunity family ... even the birthday boy has "trash duty!"
How and Little How choosing a dessert ...
A rousing rendition of HAPPY BIRTHDAY to HOW HOW ...
A bit of pink sprinkle cupcake sharing ... (J How was good to share with GiGi but gave an emphatic NO when asked to give How How a bite ... a kid can only see so much of his pink frosting go down somebody else's hatch before he has to set some limits).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOWIE!!
And ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, UNCLE ROBERT!
