Papa Staude turns 60!!

We went down to St. Louis in February to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday and Rielle's 1st birthday. They share they same special day! It was great to be there, and my sister threw a great party/brunch. We all contributed photos to make a neat memory book for dad and he really seemed to enjoy the day.

Dad opens his gift—a painted sign with all the stuff we love about him!

With four out of the five grandkids.

Cousins!

With my sweet little niecelet!

Blowin' out the candles on their cake!

I brought my record player and we played tunes from Papa's "era" all morning! James Taylor, Chicago, Peter Paul & Mary, John Denver and more!
