First one my dad (almost 97) and my youngest granddaughter Ruth(2 months today). Second one my elder daughter Myriam with Tessa (6) and Joost (4).

Oh Martine, you must have had such a lovely birthday with so many of the family there to celebrate with you - what a group of lovely pictures you have here to treasure - most never think of how wonderful those pictures are - that we snap off - on occasions such as this - but these will be treasures for years to come - especially with little Ruth is older and she is told so much about her great grand dad. Thank you - *4U

What lovely pictures, Martine!! Tell your Dad I think he's pretty handsome!! You guys must live right, I would never guess his age in a million years. He looks to be soooo enjoying the baby, I am just so very glad for you to have this family around you. How blessed you are! Love, Marji

I am so glad that you had a wonderful birthday. Having your family around is the best way to spend it. Wow I can't believe your dad is 97 years old. Thanks for the pictures. They are wonderful.

Oh, you did have a special day, and you were surrounded by beautiful loved ones! How great is it to still have your father at 97. Wow! I'm glad your special day was a success.;)
