Last Saturday, we celebrated Chris’ dad’s 60th birthday at a special surprise party. Not only was the party a surprise for Mike, many of the guests were a surprise, too.
Out-of-state guests included Mike’s two living brothers, Larry (and wife, Jerri) from Alabama and Charlie from California, as well as niece Kelley and great-niece Tyla from Florida. I still don’t know how everyone was able to sneak into town without Mike finding out!

This picture was featured on the invitation and inspired the music-themed party. This is Mike during his radio days in the Air Force. Can you recognize him with all that hair? :o)

On Sunday, the party continued when we spent the afternoon with extended family.
