Dad's Birthday

We celebrated my dad's 60th birthday a couple days early. We had been planning on doing a surprise party and when everything was set, we realized.. dun dun dunnnnnnnn.. it was going to be the same day as the HOLY WAR Football game. UvsY. Oh no worries we thought.. the game will be early and we can get my dad to the party on time. WRONG.. late game. Started at 4 and the party started at 6:00. YIKES what are we going to do?

After going through scenarios from mom's car can break down to the kids have planned a special dinner for you and this night was the only night everyone could get together. We decided to do the special dinner planned story but, that didn't go off as well as we thought. After many phone calls to my brother, from my dad, asking that we postpone dinner to possibly another night.... my mom was finally able to convince him in her "special" way (basically telling him HE IS GOING!!).

The time came when the guest of honor arrived just before the door was opened and the lights were turned back on we heard.... 'we can't go into the room this isn't the restaurant'. After everyone had yelled surprise.. he was very surprised.. He felt a little sheepish wanting the dinner postponed.

Dinner was fantastic! Of course it was, Travis did it all! Thanks brother for doing that and getting everything together, room, food, drink and TV wise (we were able to get a TV into the room so the rest of the game could be viewed). You are the best! Also, thank you to everyone who traveled near and far to come and celebrate with our family!!
