A week to prepare all the food for the family



the front door



More neighbors and friends were everywhere in the house. There are still more in other rooms... pretty veggie trays

Here is the cake





his dad on the left, his brother, rick's cousin from chicago, and the neighbors


opening up tons of cards


streamers everywhere

tissue paper everywhere

Well, today was the big part for Rick's Dad and to be honest it went very well. His Dad had his family ( the elders) and the neighbors here.

LOVELY!!!! FUN!!!!! (I do love streamers and balloons.) I'm so so glad for Rick's sake that all went well; I know it was a lot of stress for you both in preparing, and then family dynamics (always that extra added bonus, huh?) ... his Dad looks just as I'd pictured him, isn't that funny? Is he the kind of guy you can hug? cuz that was the reaction I had to his photos. I bet he could also kick your keister at a game of checkers or chess.

Wow, Veronica! That was quite a bash you had at your place! A belated HB to Rick's dad! You both certainly outdid yourselves!
