SURPRISE!!! You're 70!!!

Well, after A LOT of preparation the BIG DAY finally arrived.

After months of planning and preparation 

to throw an epic 

SURPRISE 70th Birthday Party for my Dad, 

I am pleased to say it was a HIT!

It honestly was everything I hoped it would be all of those months.

We totally surprised him, 

we had a GREAT turnout,

the program was the perfect blend of emotions.

AND.... 

we didn't burn the church down lighting 

70 candles 

on the bonfire, er, cake.

Everyone had a great time, especially my Dad. 

I wanted him to feel special, loved and in the spotlight. 

The party definitely delivered all of it.

Here is a fraction of the photos to remember that night by.

This was the "decorative" cake.

This was the "candle" cake. It took a bit to get all of those candles lit AND blown out! The old man did it though! 

We had a great "program". From stories told. Poems read and Travis's family singing a little song they wrote. It was perfect.
