Grandpa's Retirement Party

We hopped on a plane last week and flew out to see Grandpa and Mema for Grandpa's birthday and retirement party! It was a whirlwind of a weekend but totally worth it to be with them for the special celebration! 
Macy was excited for her own seat on the plane! 


Family Time 




The Speeches 
Justin gave a wonderful speech on his dad in front of many friends and family members. He did a great job honoring Don and used character words to describe his dad as 
-Generous
-Consistent
-Positive
-Patient 
-Present
-Encouraging 
It was a fun afternoon, seeing all of the people that have come into Don's life in one way or another and honoring his career in banking. Emma did a great job in setting up the event at the White Mule Winery and inviting a slew of guests! 


Macy gave Grandpa huge hugs! 

Don's brother, Jim, also had some kind words to share about Don. 

 

Kathy's brother Charlie also shared about Don.

(Favorite new picture of Grandpa and Macklin.) 

Missouri got so much snow while we were there! So fun! 

Toasts to Grandpa!

Here is a typical picture of my kids to leave on...Macklin shooting something, Macy with her Taggie and fingers in her mouth...just saying.
