70th Birthday Surprise Party

 

Last Saturday we had a surprise 70th birthday / retirement party for my Dad.  We (my siblings and Mom and I) figured that 70 is a big deal, and we never did anything for his retirement, so it was time. 
I think we actually pulled off a pretty good surprise too! (See blank/shocked face above.)  He was quite confused when he walked into church and saw family, friends and coworkers all there.



  

It was also a big day for Dylan.  A lot of family met her that night for the first time. (This is cousin Lenora and Aunt Sandy.)

Here we all are, the ones that somehow managed to surprise him (with the help of his siblings too). 
Thanks everyone for coming and for making it a fun night!

Visitors

Dylan has had lots of visitors this week!  Here are some of them...
(and here she is at 4 days old.)

Grandma & Grandpa V came with cousins Caleb and Josie (on Grandma V's Birthday 11.11.11...what a fun birthday to have!)

Grandpa and Grandma O came to visit in the hospital when Dylan was just a day old.

Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Mike, Nathan, Jonathan & Megan came to visit this week also.  She is just three days old here.

And...of course our very special and fantastic babysitters, Paula (and Heather, no picture yet), couldn't wait to see her!

This is Paula and her fiance, David.
