Its been along time since we have had Todd in town for his birthday! So I decided to have a surprise for him when he arrived! I think he was pleasantly surprised! Too many candles to put on so I put 3 for his 3 kids! WE were so thrilled he and Luke could come... Paige and Laura were missed.
Todd is one of kind ...he has such a great, loving, giving personality! I love his smile!
This was the thrill of my life to give him back his star wars sheet I had saved all these years! I made it into a quilt for him! He seemed thrilled to get it! He still loves star wars and even named his son "Luke"!
Where did the years go? Seemed the other day you were 8 and making your bed with those sheets.
Very proud parents of our grown son.
I told a few about the evening and look who stopped by? Todd's very favorite cousin, Reed. These two have a few stories together!!!!
Todd with Reed, Jen, Aunt Irva and Uncle Fred....
The next day we all went to the park to let the kids play. We sure had a nice time...Todd with his kids, Savannah and Luke, oh and his favorite mom.
Of course we were lucky to get adjustments from our favorite chiropractor!
While he was here in November, we decided to have our families Thanksgiving together! Here are some of the kids at their table...
and some of the adults...we had Grandma and Grandpa Ries as well!
Four of our beautiful children! ok, "handsome" guys!
Show Low is in the play-offs, so off to Gilbert we went to see them WIN their game! Todd with one of his best buddies, Will.
I was trying to get my grandchildren in the foreground..not too clear. But the gold and green is pretty clear!
A little tired from a very busy time, but excited to be with our kids and grandkids!
Silly grandkids!
Our last evening together before Todd went home...good times and wonderful memories to hang onto.

So nice that he was there to visit! I know how much you miss him...
It looks like you all had so much fun together. Such a blessing to get to spend time with those that were there.
It's always fun to get together! Great memories, food, and company! What more could you ask for?
