Grandpa Jay's Surprise Party






The birthday guy and his sweetheart! We surprised dad at the church on Saturday, November 29th. He thought mom had fallen and twisted her ankle so he was in a hurry to come to her aid. Fortunately, that was just a line to get him to the church for the surprise. The first thing he did after we surprised was look for his sweetheart and make sure she was okay! Then he let us sing Happy Birthday to him. How sweet!

Just part of the family tree. All five daughters were there with most of their family with them. We each shared memories and some talents. It was a fun evening and I think my Dad enjoyed his birthday celebration!!!!

Hey Kayleen. This is your favorite Aunt. (Hopefully the other Aunts won't look at this.) Looks like it was a wonderful party for your dad. It's always fun when all the Stokes get together.

It was wonderful to read Elder Cory's letters. Sounds like he is having a great mission. Do you know Jeff is getting married?!! Hope to see you soon!

Thanks for this post. You guys always do the funnest things for your family. My favorite picture is the one with Candice, you and Connie with your eyes closed. I wondered if you did it on purpose! Funny. You guys look good even with your eyes closed!
