We decided to throw Dad a surprise 60th birthday party last month. Above are the handmade invitations that Jenni and I made. We were going for a Butch Cassidy'esque feel. Amazingly the secret didn't get out even though we'd invited almost 40 people and had made arrangements with our favorite local restaurant which we're in several time a week. I even ordered custom m&ms with "Breck's 60th" and "Gloria's 59th" on them and one day Dad walked right by the box not even noticing.
The day of the party Mom had to run over to Fresno to fetch Micah (long story) while Jenni and I babysat Nana. Meanwhile Dad who was supposed to be kept busy by Mom started getting dirty-- tinkering in the garage and bleaching the bath tub. With 30 mins to go before take off, I broke down and told him so he'd quit getting messy. Mom and Micah rolled back into town with about 15 mins to spare. Overall it was a nice party with good food and great friends. I only snapped a few pics amid all of the socializing but here they are.
