10.27.07 Grandpa Rudolph turns 80

Oct. 27 was a special family event! Jim Rudolph, my grandfather turned 80 years old. Actually his birthday was October 25 but we had a fabulous family birthday party at my parent's home in Canton, Georgia.All of my aunts were there. Karen, Patty, and Sandy helped host the party with my mom Barbara. It was wonderful to see all of my cousins and their children since I have not seen some of them in years! My son met some family he had never met before. We enjoyed hamburgers and hotdogs cooked on the grill by my brother Josh and his wife Kate. They were delicious! We also enjoyed homemade icecream just like my Grandpa Rudolph used to make when I was little.The family told stories of memories past and we laughed and enjoyed each other's company. My favoriet memory? I had the best time getting together to watch old home movies shot by my Grandpa Rudolph while waiting anxiously for that homemade icecream to be done!!!Heather :)
