We have been secretly planning a huge birthday bash to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday! I cannot believe we managed to keep it a surprise, but he really had NO CLUE.
My dad is one of the most precious people I know. I’ve said it a million times, but he truly has a heart of gold and is the most loving, giving, and generous man I have ever met. Everyone was so excited and jumped at the chance to help him celebrate.
We told him we were taking “family pictures” at a local country club, but in reality we invited about 150 of his closest friends and family to come celebrate with us.
My sisters and mom & aunt did an excellent job planning and decorating, and we had a huge turnout! We had a 50’s theme wince he was born in the 50’s and loves that era.
He walked down the hallway to the back banquet hall, and we all opened the curtain to welcome him with a huge SURPRISE, “Happy Birthday,” and cake!!
Daddy was 100% surprised!! His face turned so red- I really think he was shocked!! He mingled & talked to everyone, danced with my mom, watched a dance from all his grandkids, and opened his gifts. Everyone was so good to him…because he deserves it.
I am so thankful to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and make this such a special day for him. I know he loved every single second seeing old friends and catching up with loved ones. We definitely made some sweet memories!!

Oh, and some of our family friends brought their car for some photo ops! Mama & Daddy both loved it!
P.S. I really feel like Big Jon & I missed our era! We fit right in!!
Here are a few more of the pictures from the day:
What a fabulous day!!! Thank you all who helped make it so special.
