And party we did!!
The star of the party: My Dad, with his wife Susan...who planned all of this!!
Gotta love his "hair"!
Here is one of the games Susan prepared, but I guess I was too busy talking.
Loved the food!!
Loved the food!!
My SILs Suzanne and Wendy, helping with the dessert table.
I think we all fell in love with Susan's granddaughter Kylie.
I guess she talked many people out of their name tags, and she paraded around like that the entire evening.
Isn't she a doll?!
Isn't she a doll?!
"You are the coolest 80 year old ever"

Thank You to Susan's daughter, Jamie, for letting us all invade her beautiful yard,

Thank you Erin for taking all these pictures!!!!!
Parties just aren't as good if you can't relive the memories later in photos.

This looks like so much fun. I am so sorry I couldn't be there. Your dad is one awesome man.
THANKS Jill for this recap of your dad's birthday party!
You did a great job with Erin's awesome pictures. I'll direct my family and friends to this blog so they can share in our happiness for the super support we received.
It took many helping hands to put this on. I'm so appreciative to so many.
Love, Susan
Thanks for sharing! We're sad we missed it! It looks like it was a great party!
Thanks so much Jill. Hasn't Hailey grown up. So nice to see her smiling and having fun. The party looked great.
Thank you Erin and Jill for the great pics...now let's see some of the wedding reception last night. If you had Dennis trained, you could double your blog output.
Reception pictures will be here soon. :))
Looks like a fun day!
The party was great. The pictures are fabulous Erin. Thanks to everyone but especially Jamie and Susan. It couldn't have been nicer. Oh and dad.... happy birthday again. We are all glad that you were born!

Really nice celebration, Jill! Your Dad looks great, and he looks so happy!
You have a big family! I think it's so wonderful how you all get together and celebrate so many milestones.
Every one seems to enjoy it all so much!
And why not? The food always looks so delicious, the children are such a joy, and I'm sure it's so much fun to catch up with family and friends that haven't seen each other for awhile.
I love how Susan included games too! And I'm glad you included the chalk drawing too! So endearing!
I enjoy your posts so much!
All the best,
Eileen
It looks like the party was a great one. It's nice that most all of your family was there. Your dad looks like he is really enjoying life! He and Susan look so happy! Thanks for sharing. And I'm with Richard...let's see some of the pictures of the McMarriage reception :)
Looks like a fabulous party. Thanks for stopping by crazybeloved.
I'm still so sad that I missed the party! I heard raving reviews from everyone- but then again, what Rozier gathering isn't wonderful?!
It was a fabulous party. It just didn't last long enough. Richard and I were so glad to be included.
What a fun party! I can't believe your dad is 80. He looks great!
That's super cool! Your dad is so amazing to me and the family line is incredible!
What a wonderful family!
(Could you adopt us?)
