Happy 90th Birthday Gramps!

The kids with their great grandfather, Russell
Four generations of Nelson men. Mike, Glade, Nick, and Gramps
Nick's dad's family...eight kids! :-)
Ruby and I hanging out at the partyWe headed out to Utah for the weekend to attend Nick's grandfather's 90th birthday party. We had a great day that started out in the Salt Lake temple. Nick's grandfather has not been active in the church for the majority of this life, but he decided that he wanted to start to go to church again and we were able to go to the temple with him. It was so great wittiness all of Nick's father's brothers and sisters in the temple together with their parents for the first time. Thank you Em and Mike for watching our kids so that we could go! After the temple, we headed out to Grantsville for his birthday party. It was a special day and we are so blessed that we could go. Thanks to everyone that made this trip possible. We love you!
