Happy 60th Birthday Dad!!!

Yesterday, Dad Van Dam turned the BIG 6-0!!!! Mom took Dad to Gill's Fish House in the B.O.B. downtown Grand Rapids. Jim & Marilyn Zinger & Carl & Donna Heetderks were Dad's guest at dinner. The surprise of the evening, was when us kids showed up after dinner singing, Happy Birthday. We were able to bring in cheesecake and fresh strawberries for dessert. Everyone had a great evening and I think Dad enjoyed his 60th Birthday! The Old Man

Happy 31st Birthday Scot!!!

Today is Scot's 31st birthday. Scot celebrated his birthday with a fish lunch prepared by his mom. We had red snapper & cobia, which we caught when we were in Florida. Our nephews had hot dogs and I had steak. Not everyone likes fish. After lunch the men watched the beginning of the Nascar race and the girls and the boys played the game, Clue. Brandon was the best detective and won the game. After our suspenseful game of Clue we had cake and ice cream.

Scot received very nice cards from his nephews and a sleeping bag from his parents. The rest of Scot's birthday was spent at church. He had consistory pray at 5:00, church at 6:00 where he had to collect & do slides, and then at 7:00 he had his SOS men's group.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!!

May you be blessed with many more!!!
