Happy Birthday Dad!

This post is dedicated to my Dad. Today is his birthday and he turned 50. Half a century! (I keep saying that, but it is so fun)

My Dad is the greatest Father in the world. He is so understanding, forgiving, loving, smart, religious, and a great friend. He has so much knowledge and wisdom, I can turn to him for anything. He has always been such a great example to me in everything. I feel so privileged to be his daughter. He will always be there when I need him.

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you so much!

Partying!

The past month I have pretty much just been partying. After long weeks of school I spend the weekends having a blast. :) At the end of January I came home for my best friends farewell. It was sad to see him go, but it was great to hang out with him one last time.

Over President Day's weekend I was home once again. Friday night we had a girls night. We made pizzas, cupcakes, watched a chick flick, and painted nails. It was so fun to hang with just the girls. Then the boys crashed and the girl time ended. ;)

This weekend we threw a surprise party for Dad. His birthday isn't until the 27th, but of course we had to do it the week before so he wouldn't have any idea. He was so surprised and the party turned out great. We had a lovely cake done by Costco, balloons, rock band, and a little presentation for him. We had made him a slide show with a bunch of pictures and then Mom and all of the kids got up and told everyone why we love Dad and some fun stories. Overall I say the party was a great success!
