July Family Birthdays

This past Sunday, July 19, was National Ice Cream Day, a celebration we enjoy as evidenced by the previous post — but, it's an important day in our family for a very special reason. It's also the birthday of our oldest granddaughter
She shares a July birthday with her grandfather, Patrick, who helped her celebrate her birth day, 15 years ago. 
This weekend, once again, they celebrated together. The years have gone by way too fast.
Happy 🎂 Birthday 🎉
We celebrated not only their birthdays, but also National Ice Cream Day at a RI creamery.

I'm joining you because Erika mentioned you and I thought I'd pop round.
Happy double birthday! Celebrating with ice cream sounds a good idea in this heat.

Yes that's correct. Unfortunately some young girls are in a rush to look older, but then when they are older, the reverse will happen.

Happiest of Birthdays and Ice Cream is the best way to celebrate.
Our son has his 58th birthday next week. Man, how can my First Born be that old??

Happy belated birthday to Patrick and your oldest granddaughter I bet he loves sharing a birthday with her. My mother shared her birthday with my nephew/her grandson and she always loved that. hugs-Erika

Happy birthday to Patrick and your beautiful granddaughter.

I shared a birthday with my grandmother and there's a photo of us together on my fifth (?) birthday.

Ice cream for all hands!
