Steve's Dad's 80th Birthday...

It was Steve's Dad's 80th Birthday this year. His wife Dottie started planning in January for the big event that would take place in March. It was a big surprise party weekend. She did an incredible job. Here she is standing by Dad to cut his cake. We all secretly meet for dinner on Friday night at his favorite restaurant which was the first surprise

This was the second big surprise. The boys took him for breakfast Sunday morning after church all the girls rushed over to the place for the bigger party. This is dad walking in. He thought he was looking for a place that Greg wanted to buy. When he walked in a realized what was going on this was the expression on his face.

The big birthday cake with all the things that Dad loves to do as decorations.

Here he is with his three boys. David, Steve and Greg.

The last surprise was put together by Robin. She had written letters to everyone that she knew and asked them to write a letter, send a picture or a card. Then she put it altogether into a big picture book. She made it with love. He spent many hours just looking at it, shedding some tears, and remembering so many things. It was truly a very blessed weekend for all of us.
