One of the main reasons we went to Virginia was to be there for Grandpa Sleight's 70th Birthday. Todd and his siblings were all going out for the big day -we were really fortunate/blessed to find good ticket prices to fly our whole family out for the party.

| The big surprise. We flew in almost a week before (we are too loud and obnoxious to be a surprise so we told him about us), Cindy came in a few days before as a surprise and Nicole, Michele & Lesa flew in Friday night and surprised Grandpa on Sat. morning. He had surprises left and right. |

| Cousins- Syd, Liz & Sam- nothing better then cousin time! |

| Grandpa needed some help blowing out those big 70 candles...and boy did he get it. |
Happy Birthday Grandpa Sleight! We sure love you and think you are the greatest!
For his birthday the kids & I put together a little scavenger hunt with clues that he went around the house finding. At the end he opened a bag with 70 kisses (hershey) from them. (Thanks Aunt Cindy for the great idea)
For his birthday - the family put together a book of memories from all of his friends- There was an entire binder filled with countless memories and stories all about LaMar and how great he is. The gift was awesome. And Aunt Cindy put together a video that contained all his immediate family sharing some sort of a memory about him. What a legacy to follow!

You guys made Dad's birthday extra special with that scavenger hunt. I have never seen Dad so animated! It was great.
Seriously . . .so fun! President Sleight does not age . . .I swear he might be a little more gray than when I was young but other than that he is still the same!
I am so happy everyone made it back and had fun! What an awesome memory for everyone!
