I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
I had a fun-filled weekend with my family
celebrating my dad's 80th birthday.
Yesterday I shared his birthday cake
and the card that I made for him.
Today I wanted to share with you dad's
birthday cards. My sister, daughter and I
all put out a request to help us celebrate by
making a card for dad. We hoped to collect
80 cards — we didn't quite make 80 but we
were close and dad was thrilled with all the
love and attention he received.

Here he is standing by all his cards.
Thank you to all that sent or gave a card for him.
We do have the best friends and customers.
We also decided since all four of us "kids" were together
we wanted to take a family picture with mom & dad.
We had plenty of photographers so everyone was
looking somewhere else but we had a good time
hugging in around mom & dad.

It was a fun weekend all together.
There were 25 of us for the "birthday" dinner.
My dad is VERY loved
and we are all very blessed!!!!


So happy your Dad had such a great birthday. And the family photo is lovely. Sitting at O’Hare waiting to board my 5 am flight to California. Happy Monday! – Ellie
