May 5, 2012 Peter's 70th Birthday Party

A milestone for my brother-in-law Peter.   Still enjoying life at the age of 70!
Loves his family, (grandchildren being on top of course)
 
travelling, working on fixer upper vehicles in his shop, 
and picking up scrap at Bibles for Missions.

Caragh loves all the balloons. 

Peter's hobby since he retired.  Fixing up old vehicles

Jennifer's little one Nicholas and Marianne's youngest Caragh. 

Many friends and family to celebrate. 

Margaret Hoogstad & Pat Bontius. 

Opa and his great-grandson Nicholas. 

Roy & Jessie Wu.

doing a great job on the BBQ.

A party isn't a party without lots of little people. 


Huge mocha cake.  Peter's favorite.  


Tineke and I went to grade school together.  (A few years ago)
