Happy 60th Dad!


Wow! A Busy weekend over! Well my 3 brothers and I and my mother & father all went out for an intimate family dinner! It was sorta a Surprise as I had 2 brothers coming from 2 different states for this event! We designed the dinner to be just us, (no spouses, though we love them;)) mainly because we could reminis about the good o'l days, and we wanted all attention On Dad! They wanted something fancy and upscale. No buffet style as we are used too. So my Brother Evan made the reservations and off we went! It was very nice. Definitely a little classier then I am used to!
Here is a photo of Evan, my mom and dad!
We had a wonderful waiter that was Very detailed explaining everything! I had him take this pic!;)
I was probably the only one not having Steak. I had the Grilled Chicken Ziti, ( 2nd photo) and this wonderful French onion soup...

Since it was my dads Birthday they served him a complimentary chocolate mousse. We all had to help him eat it! Very good!



Afterward as we left the place We snagged the next guy coming out to take this photo!(above)
After the meal we went to Evans place for Dessert(coconut cream pie) We snapped a few photos, then we talked about many wonderful memories, we shared many laughs, it was a great time! Here is me and my 3 brothers ( I am the oldest)
****************************************************
Sunday morning (all but 1 brother) went to my moms church. My parents travel an hour and half to get there every week! (My Mother is the Pastor there)
Below is a beautiful display. She does well keeping up with the seasons and decor!
It was a great service and a little tribute to my dad! They wanted to celebrate a little there too! people brought up lots of cards for him... You have to know my dad he is a very shy man so this was humbling for him;)
Here is a photo of my baby brother!
Here is the cake they had at the church!
****************************************************
After all that celebrating we came home got things ready to go to my moms to party some more! 2 of my dads 4 siblings came and his parents too!
Evan, Angela and Seth

Sweetie pie Seth! He just giggles All the time! Such a happy little guy!
Check out this amazing cake! It was made by another one of my moms sisters and it was VERY decadent and delicious!
Happy Happy Birthday! I love you Dad!

It looks like your dad had a very special birthday with all of you. How nice that you could all get together to celebrate his special day.

Your onion soup looked so good, but not nearly as that decadent chocolate cake, wow! I feel like baking now...

Many sweet blessings!

Happy Birthday to your Dad!!!

What fun to have your siblings come in for the celebration. I'm sure it blessed your dad greatly. You are all a good looking bunch.

BTW - I don't remember your last name for Facebook. You can find my author page on my sidebar: It says Visit Me on Facebook under the pic of Tom & I and find my regular page from there. I would love to be Facebook pals too.
