IT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL DAY!!
On the first of October it was Neil's 60th Birthday! I asked all four of our kids and their families to come over so we could be together. What a great time! We had a family birthday dinner on Saturday afternoon and gave Neil a gift we had all gone together to get for him. It was a Makita Cordless Drill, Cordless Impact Driver and Cordless flashlight. He's been wanting one for a long time. I also got him a Biscuit Joiner for making cabinets.
Rachael & Ryan also gave PAPI a special pair of "undies".
Melissa brought a large sheet cake, and Rachel Weddle put 60 candles on it. . He didn't have any trouble blowing out the 60 candles!
Later on that evening, I invited many of our friends from the neighborhood and our church to join us for ice cream, cake, punch and coffee. All the girls (daughter & daughter-in-laws) from our family helped me get everything ready. They also cut the cake, poured punch, and served ice cream. It was a big help!

My two daughter-in-laws (Rachael & Rachel) decided to add a little 'spice' to the party and flash me when I took the picture. I was so caught up in the evening, I didn't even notice it until Tracy showed me the next day. The 2nd picture is of all of our kids laughing when they realized I hadn't even seen the girls flashing me.
In our house, the kids always sat on the kitchen counter. As you can see.... they still do it. Brings back great memories!

The picture wasn't as bad as I thought it was! We sure had a good time though. Hopefully we can all get together again soon.
