He's 60!!

Yep, Ragnar is 60 now - does that mean we are at the stage when we should start to slow down?
When our family was still altogether we had an early celebration for him.
Kara & Selah made him a cute sign for our dining room wall.
Abbi's pavlova Birthday Cake with lots of fruit.
Now he has his very own hand made apron, from Claire, to use when he makes us our Faroese meals.
The day before his birthday, almost everyone on campus had enchiladas together.
As we were singing Happy Birthday to him, he was given 'the torch' with ice cream in it!!
A proper English Breakfast was a good way to begin his actual birthday.
Later in the day.
We were in the Lake District, which is a gorgeous place, but the weather didn't cooperate for great picture taking.
Our 'German kids' were in Mission Simulation for the big day, but they arranged to have his gift delivered to him.  How very thoughtful!!
The following week the Volunteers took us to the Driving Range as part of his celebration.
Part of the fun was for the person whose balls went the furthest, to choose something from the box for the other one to wear.  Whoops, I guess he missed a couple!!
Then we went back to our home to enjoy a scrumptious cheesecake that one of the young ladies made.
Another part of his gift was to have our car washed.
They did a beautiful job - in the end it was sparkling both on the outside and within.
Aren't we spoiled!?!?
