We had a 'Surprise' 60th Birthday Party for my dad on Saturday. The big day was April 27th, but we had it early to keep with the surprise factor... In my mad dash to get there before the birthday boy (who was suppose to show up around 6:10pm and actually made it about 7:00pm-my mom calculated the wrong time for their movie to get out...) I forgot my camera, Becky was so sweet to send me the ones she took and will now find them proudly displayed on my blog! So act 'surprised' when you see them on her blog too :)
We celebrated with a Hawaiian Luau theme as Ryan and Sara & girls weren't able to join us. Dinner was Hawaiian Haystacks, and we had Tiki Torches, beach balls, paper lanterns, etc. Complete with Hawaiian music playing in the background...
The cake.My Grandma was so excited to take care of ordering the cake for her "favorite" son, and couldn't have been more disappointed that the writing was in orange, instead of blue like she had ordered:) 
I made my dad a video of pictures of his childhood to present day. With all the pictures I scanned in I had copies made to decorate with. These were hung from these great beams in their kitchen. Others were taped to the walls.

It was a success, we had fun! You guys did such a great job on pulling it all together!
I wish we could have been there!!! So much!!! Thanks for posting the pictures, I have actually been checking a lot recently, hoping you would do a post on the party! I can't wait to see that video you made too! Thanks for mentioning us (just so glad we aren't forgotten after living so far away for so long!) Love you,
Sara xx
Oh, and I forgot to say it looks like you did an AWESOME job decorating and puttin this all together!!! You should open up a party business :) I'm sure Kelly had the time of his life!!!
Sara-So funny you said that about a party business. I had so much fun putting it all together, that I would love to do it as a business. I was talking to Phil about it the other day. When the kids get a little bigger I'm going to do some more checking in to it!! We sure missed you guys!
Love you lots,
Rach
You are a better daughter than me. Looks fabulous, by the way. Go Rach!
