Yep, that's right! My dad turned 47 today! He is seriously the greatest dad in the world, and I don't say that lightly. Many people say that about their own father but none can compare to mine! He has sacrificed so much in his life to provide for our family and never ever puts himself first. He deserves so much more than I could ever give him but he doesn't expect it one bit. Such an amazing man!
One thing that he has wanted for years now is to be a Grandpa! Well, the heavens opened up and we were able to give him the news that he will in fact be a Grandpa next year!
As I'm sure you've gathered (and as I've told you), our family loves to play games! So Marcel and I decided that we would use this to our advantage. We broke out "Pictionary Man", divided the teams (Marcel and my parents vs. me and my siblings), played a few rounds, then when it was Marcel's turn to draw again he drew this and slid it across the table to me!

"Pregnant!"
"Expecting!"
....*confused pause*....
"Did we get it?", my Mom asked looking to Marcel for the answer.
Remember our family is very competitive so when we get in the zone the game is all that's on our minds! Therefore, the message wasn't clicking.
"Who's expecting?" I asked them.
Then it clicked! Followed by the excited reactions, lots of hugs, and happy tears! My favorite was that my Dad kept saying that it was "The best birthday EVER!"!!
We ended the evening the way you end any birthday party, with delicious cake made by my talented Mom!
Happy Birthday Dad!
Glad we could make this birthday extra special! You deserve it! Love you mucho! :)
