We celebrated Grandpa Curtis' 85th Birthday a couple of weeks ago! It was such a treat to have dinner and spend time with them. They came over to Marty and Keri's and we all had a great time with them. As we all sat down at the dinner table, Marty asked Grandpa what advice he had for us for life, being that he has been alive for alot longer than us. Grandpa sweetly said that the only advice he has is to always remember to put your spouse first. He explained that when you always put your spouse first, you are both always happy. It was a really tender moment, and i will never forget that. He is the greatest example to Brad and I of always thinking of others and making everyone happy. My favorite thing about Grandpa is that he always has toys with him, and gives them to people he sees. Whether those people are in the family, or working in the movie theater, he'll give them to anyone. I have been reading Brad's family history on his Curtis side, and i loved reading Grandpa Curtis' history. His whole life is an example of selflessness. We love Grandpa!
After dinner that night, Grandpa and Grandma taught us one of their favorite card games, Pinochle. It took Brad and I a while to get the hang of it, but once we did, we loved it. Brad and and I are so blessed to have such a great, strong family!
Here is all of us getting ready to watch Grandpa blow out his candles!
