After 35 years of working at Home Savings Bank my Dad decided to retire. We knew for about a year that the day was approaching, mainly because Dad talked about it all the time. We decided to plan a party for him after his final day of work. Kelli, Mom, and I worked together to get things ready invitations sent out, and decorations in order. We had a great turn out, so nice to see all those people that were so happy for Dad. Not sure I have a future in party planning but the party was a great success and I think that everyone fun. We concluded the party about midnight and moved the after party to mom and dads house. I think Dad and his brothers ended up staying up till about 3 am. Pretty good partying for an old retired guy! We are so proud of Dad and so grateful for all those years he worked and sacrificed to make sure his kids had everything they needed. Way to go Papa, here's to many years of fun and relaxation. We love you.
Everyone all dressed up and ready to go to the party. The kids stayed for about an hour till we sent them off with the babysitter.
The whole crew. A pretty cute group of kids. The best part is that they love each other and love being together.
Papa with his favorite people.
I got to spend time with all my cousins. It has been a long time since we have all been together. So many fond memories of being with this group.
The decor wasn't anything fancy but is all came together nicely.
And this happened! God only knows what you will get when you put Craig and Orville in charge of putting together some entertainment.
Papa after his big night. A well earned nap, sure there will be many more afternoon naps in his retirement.
