SURPRISE!!! My sister Mary (aka money bags) threw a bash for my dad's 70th party. We have 11 siblings, some with spouses, and 52 grand kids, not all were there but it was a packed house.
So, here is the low down. Dad comes to the door, we yelled surprise, pretty self explanatory.
I have my top 10 happenings of the night.
10. Bryan and Amberly went missing. hmmmm, where are they??
9. My brother James yelling out, "their coming" when they really weren't, and watching everyone scramble, he did this like 5 times, it was hilarious.
8. Practicing the surprise.... oh, more then once.
7. Irritating my sisters with my glamour shots!!
6. Our dad's scrapbook that all the sisters put together.
5. Charade's with past stories of my dad and seeing if he could guess them. My dad then had to complete the story for all of us.
4. Chillaxing with the family.
3. Loving my nieces!! Setting the wedding dates. Picking out wedding colors. Talking BOYS, BOYS, BOYS!! I love this group of girls.
2. Checking out my husband from across the room, admiring his adorableness!!!
1. Celebrating the wonderful life my dad has given us this far.
I owe so much of who I am to my dad. I look at who he is, and all that he has accomplished in life, and hope I can have some of that same success. My favorite thing about my dad is his testimony of the gospel. All 11 of his children have testimonies of the gospel and are actively going to church. I feel like that's something we are all extremely grateful for.
My dad is amazing and has touched a lot of lives through out his life. I'm so glad I was there to party down with him.
I LOVE YOU DAD!! Words truly can not express the gratitude I have for my father.
