Saturday we felt very blessed to be able to make it out to Riverside for Ito and Samantha's birthday party. Can you believe grandpa is now 80!?!? I have mixed emotions as I know I am so blessed to have such an amazing grandfather in my life for so long. And really, he's so healthy and strong and I just adore him. But man, 80, I hate that he's getting older because we can't imagine life without either of them. Samantha on the other hand is finding herself and developing her identity as an adult and that's so very fun to watch.
Cole was woken up from his nap but I swear he knew he was going to the party because he quickly became very happy to load up and head out.
I thought it was great that Shannon got a pinata because it's hard for us showing up knowing there are no other kids for our kids. We desperately wish they had cousins but it makes us that much more grateful for our friends and their children and the friendships they share. Although, I do have to say, the kids have a lot of fun at Wildcat and at Ito and Juana's. They're happy little people.
The Arrietta men are so funny - Apparently it takes 80 years to realize a real smile is cool. Actually Rob is doing a pretty good job too!
I just love the relationship these two have. It's always as though no time has passed.
Happy Birthday Ito and Samantha - we had a fabulous time celebrating with the families.
