Happy 93rd Birthday Grandpa!

We celebrated my Grandpa Sikich's 93rd birthday on the 4th of July... here are some of the festivity pics. It turned out to be a rainy day in Chicago, but we still managed to have a great time under the table umbrellas and indoors. Less swimming for most people, but that didn't slow down Nate- he was in the pool most of the time. It was pretty crazy with so many little ones running around... I was beat by night time. Enjoy...

Yummy chocolate ganache cake for my Grandpa, and mini-cakes for the little ones with summer B-days.
"Happy Birthday to you..."
Happy 93rd, Grandpa... we love you!

I think Nate enjoyed his cake...

And, of course, like brother like sister...

My family really knows how to bring on the desserts... her are my Aunt Nancy's famous apple pies.

Grandpa with the great-grandkids... from 2 to 93, quite a span.

Elin wanted to be in the pool EVERY MINUTE... she couldn't get enough.

And Nate was pretty much a prune by the end of the day.

Here are Lexi and Sadie, our kid's cousins. Poor Lexi had stiches on her nose just the day before.

The kids couldn't get enough ice cream... my parents stuff the refrigerator with it before the parties... thanks Mom and Dad!
