I’m totally jealous of my dad

 

My dad finished his last day of work last Friday, which we celebrated with a cook-out at my parents’ house on Saturday. Considering I haven’t even had time to write about such a special occasion till almost 1 week later because of work – I am CRAZY jealous of him =)

 

 

Not a great picture of the cake with the little plastic covering still on – but it’s what you get from this non-professional photog.

{and you didn’t hear it from me, but word on the street this is this was the second cake made for this party – the first was just the tiniest bit cuter, until it was dropped… I won’t mention any names here *cough*brother-in-law*cough*cough*}

 

 

 

Papaw – my dad’s dad. Love him!

 

 

Cousins doing what little cousins do at a very exciting retirement cook-out.

 

 

David, brother-in-law. Happy to have procured a second cake in time for the party.

 

 

Me – official flying bug swatter. I hear food is pretty important at a cook-out, I tried my best to protect the goods…

 

 

The power polls – I didn’t know what else to make for decor???

If you have some sort of affinity for power polls, I’d be happy let you have these tiny replicas I spent so much time on and now… what to do with them???

Our friend, Marshall, gave him some great toy tools to get him started on that inevitable honey-do list that’s in the making.

 

 

 

Congratulations, Dad! I can’t imagine anyone more deserving of a break. Except for Mom who is equally deserving. {Speaking of which, has it really been 2 years since her retirement party? WoW!}

On a side note – Saturday was also the 2 year anniversary of this little blog of ours. I have been more than blessed through this outlet and the sweet people who have read my ramblings for the past 2 years. Thanks for being a part of our lives!
