GanGan's 90th Birthday

Today we celebrated Adam's granddad's 90th birthday!  What a blessing to celebrate 90 years!  GanGan is such a sweet, sweet man and we loved getting to spend the afternoon with he and GawGaw and all the Hoover cousins.  My favorite memory of GanGan is how hard he worked, at age 82!, to completely renovate our basement when I was pregnant with Sara.  He and GawGaw drove out to our house almost every day for about 6 months to work even if we were not at home.  He would work and work and GawGaw would stay right beside him when she was not doing our laundry! 

{THANK YOU Sharron for the pictures I stoled copied from your blog! heehee!}
