It was my dad's 50
Th birthday a couple of weeks ago, so my mom, sister and I decided to throw him a
surprise birthday party. We had it on Saturday night and it was a total blast. Here is a picture of me and my sister, Brittney. We posed like this on every single one of my mom's disposable camera's. I hope she gets a kick out of it.
We invited around 75 people to this bash, all consisting of my dad's family and closest friends.
Here we all are waiting for his arrival. I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach while I was waiting for him.
After he arrived, my mom, my sister and I all got up and said a few things about my father. My mom told everyone how my dad has gone to the blood bank every Sunday for the past two years where he donates
platelets in my name. He does this because when I was going through treatment I needed a lot of transfusions and I was always in need of platelets. The blood bank has said that my dad has donated 88 bag of platelets which is
equivalent to 150 blood donations, which in turn has saved 150 live and/or allowed 150 people to continue their chemo treatment. That brought tears to my eyes and many others when we heard that.
We also had a live bandi called The Recliners. The lead singer is my dad's best friend, Brad, who is actually the one with the guitar. The guy singing is a random person who sang like crap!. The band however was
absolutely amazing!
Here are some family and friends cutting loose on the dance floor!
Here is my favorite cousin David! He got up a few times with the band and sang for us. In this picture I think that he is singing Johnny Cash's
Ring of Fire. Rock On Dave!!!!
Me, Mom and Britt! Hey Mom - Love the wide open mouth!!!
This has to be my most favorite picture of all! This is my uncle Kenny wearing his wife's sweater and
sunglasses!
Here is my awesome dad at the end of the night opening his gifts. I just want to say how much I love my dad and how grateful I am to have him as my father. He has been there for me in my darkest hours and I couldn't ask for a greater father, friend, and grandpa "Gary"! We love you Dad! Happy 50
Th Birthday!
