This past Saturday, we threw an epic party for my dad. It was the work of an entire year to get all five siblings on the same continent and over 150 people into one room to celebrate him! But he turns sixty this year, he’s one of the greatest guys we all know, and he is the BEST person to throw a surprise party for, so it was completely worth it!
We started with snacks, of course.
And then we waited for the big arrival…
…which did not disappoint. He was shocked.
Then he found my sister, Janel, the only one he didn’t know was already in town. We were missing a son-in-law and four grandkids, but it’s been awhile since all the sisters were in one room.
So many friends and family drove so far, and we are so thankful! It was fun to have a room full of people there to celebrate Dad.
Then we did a little quiz on Dad and got a few laughs! Here’s to Steven, the best emcee I know.
And then friends shared their favorite memories & stories of Dad and told him just how great he is!
Of course we had to light 60 candles, despite the smoke alarm risk…
We love you, Dad! Hope you enjoyed your epic party!
