We celebrated Uncle Paul's 85th birthday party a couple of weeks ago at Kristin's house. Since my dad died when I was young, my Uncle Paul has really stepped up and been an awesome grandpa to my girls. He comes to everything, just as a grandpa would. He even came to Lindsay opening up her mission call a few weeks ago. It was fun seeing some of my cousins I haven't seen in probably 30 years. Fun catching up on stories and just being together as a family. Wish I would have inherited some of the Ellsworth's tall genes....my family seemed to miss that gene! We did some redneck type activities and sure had fun! We did a chicken chase, raced on wooden cows, had an outdoor movie and could play the wii, had a teepee, rode horses, had a BBQ, and had an awesome time. Uncle Paul wore his cowboy outfit just like old times. My mom and her family grew up on a farm so that's why we went with a cowboy themed party. He loved it and I'm so glad so many people came! Super fun day! I love my family!!
