My Dad is finally legal retirement age! Happy 65th!

So my Dad turned 65 on the 22nd, and Friday the 23rd the girls didn't have school so Madi and I baked and decorated a cake and then the girls and I delivered it and a present to my folks that day. We had a little birthday celebration with my Dad that included Cake and ice cream, presents/cards, and even party games! It was really cute. A little elementary for my Dad, but he loved it because the girls had a blast! (so did he;)
After the celebrating, Dad sat down at his art bench with Madison and decided to teach him the ways of Bob Ross 101. Here they are working on their masterpiece. At one point Madison exclaimed, "oh Danget, I made a mistake!" to which he replied, " That's okay Madi, there are no mistakes, only happy little changes." It was hilarious especially since he was totally straight faced and serious. He had watched too many Bob Ross instructional videos I think.... The Man....................The Legend
Their final piece! I thought it turned out pretty dang good!
Sunday night We then had The family members that could make it over, and My folks great friends, Dave and Cynthia Moore. We had Homemade Venison Chili and cornbread and afterwards The girls put on a hula performance. Here are the girls teaching their Uncle's and Aunts a little hula.
Bj, Casey, and Tamara................Their a little special............We don't take them out to the public very often.
As I said before................................... Very special
The Spectators.............................Dave, and Dad.....Mom and Cynthia
And of course, Uncle Ricco is in the H-O-U-S-E!! Pimpin it up Bob Ross Style! (As he would say) All in All a very fun weekend with the Family. Just wish the entire family could have been there! Hope 65 is a Great year for you Dad! We love and appreciate all you have done for your Family and the example you have set for all of us!

  5. I love that you paid tribute to good ol' Bob Ross. I didn't know your Papa was an aspiring Bob Ross kind of guy. His comment to Madison was great. I do a quote of the day with my kids every morning. I will jot that one down to use:0) The "very special" picture of B.J. and Casey is just scary I must say, and get a hair cut Uncle Ricco! Oh, and Happy Birthday to your old man.
