It was a weekend full of Birthday surprises for my Dad!! But first I want to say how wonderful it was to have my sister, Mollie, stay with Kyle and I for a whole week! It was so great to spend time with her, good quality time, that we haven't gotten to share by ourselves for a long time. She came to work with me, helped me with dinner and helped get everything ready for Daddy's big weekend! I miss her not being here this week and I hope she finds time to come back before the summer is over.
Now, back to birthday surprises!! We had so much fun planning the weekend! We started talking back a few months ago about what we wanted to do because it was a special birthday...the BIG 5-0! We decided to have a family party at the lake, the perfect place to get together during the summer.
Daddy's birthday was Friday and him, Teena and Judson meet us at a Mexican resturant in Macon where some of his friends surprised him and joined us for dinner. Mollie got him huge balloons that were perfect for the occasion saying, "You're How Old?" and and giant 50! It was great getting to see everyone and spend time with them at dinner.
When we got back to the cabin it was time for birthday gifts! Daddy loved his big candy card Mollie and I made for him! He also loved his Big Green Egg!
Saturday we had about 40 family members come for a surprise cookout. It was so nice to have everyone together, mostly this only happens at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I hope Daddy had a wonderful weekend and isn't too sore from all his water adventures...he busted it barefooting and wakeboarding. I do have to say, I have to coolest 50 year old dad there is!
