Dad Turns 85!

Tonight was Dad's 85th birthday and we were invited to celebrate at his favorite place to eat,

  Burger King!  

(Robynn came up with the plan and Skyler made this darling invitation)

Since dad goes there quite often, they had no trouble reserving most of the place for his party.

There were 33 of us at the party, but lots of our family celebrated at Burger Kings near them. Dad gave each of us $3, and with some coupons that we had, we all ate like Kings!   Robynn and Lani brought awesome cupcakes and the manager at Burger King, gave everyone there a free ice cream cone.  It was quite the night!!!!

 

Here's a darling picture of dad that Robynn had made into a poster and had it on an easel at the party.

Here's most of the people who were there!  (Unfortunately, I did miss a few)

Krista, Matt and their family, Lani and Dad

Robynn, Dick, Chris Birks and Ila Fae

Josh's family

Jamie's family

Carissa, Taylor, Kathy and Ric

Marie and Michelle

Boyd and DeAnne

Me and Mike

Jen and Jeff (sorry about the sun in their eyes)

Our crazy girls!

Robynn had spent several hours interviewing dad about some of the interesting things he had done in his life and put them all together for us to read as we were eating dinner.  Since we were at Burger King, she titled it Whopper of a tale or the Truth.  Then she gave everyone a pack of whoppers as a party favor.  

(She is the best person to have in town for a birthday party!!!!)

Uncle Mike was sweet enough to enjoy a Burger King meal at mom and dad's house with mom, who still wasn't feeling quite up to a big night out on the town.

Jordan and his family, Charlie and his family and Pierce and his family,  Tatia and her family, and Chase and Morgan, are all out of state, and sent pictures of them at Burger King.  Here's Jordan while, working out of town someplace in Georgia.

Here's Jamie with her burger. (sad face because she couldn't be at the party)

Even Lexi got to share some of her fries.
