Last night our family gathered together to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday! He is an amazing man that should be celebrated each and every day. But this was a great excuse to make it super of course “80” is just a fun number and one of those special milestones.
The party was a ton of fun!… yummy food, lots of laughter, kids being silly together, adults being silly, music from the 50’s, piano playing…
cake & ice cream, thoughtful presents & cards…
…balloons, ice ball hockey across the island,…
…and a bit of extra flannel. It was a great time for sure.
Love you Dad. ❤️
