Grandpa Goodwin's 80th Birthday

Grandpa Goodwin's 80th Birthday was in September 2012.  I didn't want to post the pictures without a wonderful tribute to Reese J Goodwin.  But...

We love Grandpa Goodwin!  Each of these pages represented a year in Reese's life. 


The Reese and Charlotte Goodwin Family.


The Men


The Women







Just the grandkids.




We made t-shirts for the family, inspired by my cousin's.
The t-shirts were inspired by my cousins.  You can see more about their shirts here.

Joseph has a special relationship with his Papa.  Joseph was named after Reese's father Joseph Goodwin, "Grandpa Joe."


Hunter is Joey's favorite cousin.  Perhaps it is because they are the only boys.





 



I feel very lucky to be a part of this beautiful family!

Time for presents!

Rachel's 3rd Birthday

Our little fairy was surprised by her Goodwin grandparents with a beautiful bunch of balloons.


She was more than thrilled.
 

"Thank you Grandma!"


Hugs all around.


I went overboard with this nature/Tinker Bell theme cake.


She loved it!


Nothing like a wonderful family to share such a happy day.
 

"Happy birthday to yooooouuuuuuu!"


Our resident gymnast entertained everyone while we waited for presents.  Joe thinks it's super funny to be upside down.


This little fairy was given tons of fun presents.  She received a Dumbo, bubbles and a Disney DVD from her Aunt, Uncle and Cousins.


Mom, Dad and Joey gave her a Mickey Go Fish game, Tinker Bell the movie, a cool alarm clock (more about that later), her fairy costume and a reading system.  Lucky girl!


By the time we played with the cousins and returned home Rachel was too tired to do anything.  She couldn't even stay awake long enough for dinner.  "Goodnight sweet 3 year old."
