Although my 70th Birthday is on Tuesday March 29th - we got together yesterday afternoon and had a family celebration at my favorite Chinese restaurant. It was a Great party with lots of stories, laughs, love and good food. Along with my wife Nancy also at the party were my Sister and Brother and his wife, my 3 Sons and Daughter-in-law and 3 out of 4 of my Grandchildren. My oldest Grandson could not attend the party as he is a Freshman at Arizona State University. However we were able to see him via Skype during the party.

I had asked people NOT to bring any presents but I was pleasantly surprised when I got some beautiful handmade CHIPS from my Grandchildren - Collin, Sophia and Gavin. Needless to say I will cherish these chips forever and they will have a special place in my collection !! They even came in there own special "Chip" bag.

Shown below are the chips lovingly made by my Grandchildren and some other memorabilia from this Great Birthday Party !! Everyone signed the placemat next to their Chinese Zodiac Animal.
I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful family !!

Take care,
