60th Birthday Party

Today my dad turned 60. If you know him at all, he hates big parties and being the center of attention. SO, we threw him a surprise party. We invited a ton of friends and family and pretty much everyone showed up. We probably had 50 people come. Everyone arrived 30 minutes before he did. We were all outside waiting when he pulled up.
As soon as he turned in the circle he saw us all out there. I guess it was the big birthday sign that gave it away. He stopped the car and put it into reverse. What a joker. Once he parked the car he wouldn't get out for a while. I think he was a bit overwhelmed :)

Everyone brought something to share for a pot luck style dinner. It was really yummy. Big man thought the cake was hilarious.

We had a great time. I know he hates all the fuss, but it's not every day you turn 60. I think it was great all the love and support that was shown by all his family and friends. He truly is a great dad, husband, grandpa, brother, son, and friend. We love you.
