Happy 70th to my Dad

My dad's 70th birthday was on Dec 9th.

We hadn't planned a big birthday party like we did for his 60th.

We wanted to do something so the day before our regular fast Sunday dinner

we came up with something.

We got the idea on Pinterest

to do the 70 made up of pictures of my dad.

Amazingly, we got it all put together in one day.

And then decided to surprise our dad.

the girls table

each fast sunday we get together at my parents

for december we all had dinner there

so my dad had no idea we were planning anything

it was my sister's birthday that day

so we didn't say anything about dad's birthday during dinner

with over 30 people in the family

there's not enough room in the kitchen

so some of the grandkids get to eat in the TV room

while everyone was eating I snuck in the living room

to put up the 70 and then bring in the balloons

that we had all hidden downstairs.

then my sister snuck in and put up all the letters

everyone had written to my dad

he was really surprise when he came in the living room to visit after dinner

here he is with some of the grandkids

doesn't my dad look great ?!!
