Papaw's Party

Papaw Porter turned 90 this week, so a celebration was in order.  We all met up at the Trace Grill for lunch and then we had cake and presents over at Papaw's apartment afterwards. We somehow forgot the candles for his cake, so a blinky Christmas necklace did the job while EK led the singing of the Birthday song.
 Papaw adores his great grands...like a whole lot.  Once, my Mamaw told me that she "never knew such love and happiness until Ella Kate came along."  (She passed away before Walker came into the picture, but I am sure she would have felt the same way about him)  I think Papaw pretty much feels the same way.  He loves to watch them play and entertain for hours and they are pretty smitten with him as well.
 Aunt Ellen and Uncle Allen were in town too which is always fun.  Somehow though, we missed a picture with Aunt Carolyn =(
 Ella Kate sang a few of her songs from her school program and directed some singing also.  She gave strict instructions for the girls to sing one part and the boys were supposed to sing the other.  Only problem, no one knew the words!  I wish there was a video!
 Walker was just happy to have cake!!!!  Too bad later that day we ended up at the after hours clinic for a breathing treatment.  Bummer!!!!
 Happiest of birthdays Papaw!!!! We love you!!!!!  (and yes, that is Tabasco flavored chocolate.  That man loves Tabasco!!!!!)
