My grandpas 80 birthday

My grandpas theme was 1929 Stock Market....that is when it fell was in 1929, days when he was born. They have always told me that He caused the stock market to fall, so here it is 80 years later, and I wanted to bring it out and show the differences between 80 years and what has changed.

These are the centerpieces....I made them little money trees and since his birthday is the day before Halloween, I put some candy out for everyone.

I baked his cake, but I didnt make it like the fondant.....But i did get ALOT of compliments on it and how moist and good it was.

I love, love, love, this picture. This is a picture of my grandpa and his great grandson Cameron. He was helping his grandpa open his birthday gifts. My grandpa just adores him.

Here are some of the things that happened in 1929 and now in 2009. My friend helped me make these pictures and decorate.

We put 80 candles on top of this cake, and we put them all together cause it was faster to light, lol. They ended up burning the floor.

I made a stock market on the wall and made this of my grandpa crashing it when he was born.

The cake i made

I put this fun facts on the tables of numerous things, so that everyone could read.

We had his birthday party at our church. Alot of people from church came and our close friends and family. My grandpa had a blast and told me he never has had a party before like that, so here he is at 80 and Im so happy that I could give him something that he will always cherish and have many memories of!!! I am so thankful to have him still in our lives and he is such a sweet person and a Godly person. He teaches Sunday School still at our church and he is the deacon. I love you grandpa!!!
