Happy 60th Papa!

We helped Papa celebrate his 60th birthday. It was a little bit of a surprise party....


Momo got him a yummy cake to celebrate the big event.

yep, apparently a little TOO yummy. Lila dug her hands in way before the party started. Erin had some mad skills to repair it. :)

I love this girl. I think this is when we were having a more serious moment....like giving thanks for our food. and papa :)

and you should have seen her pop those suckers off

the best part of the party (in my opinion) was Papa opening his gift from us kids. It was a total labor of love. We contacted as many people from his past (and present) to write a memory or good wish for him.

We compiled the responses (and we got TONS) into a book.

We were able to get letters from old friends, coworkers, former basketball players, family...

We even included a few embarrassing pictures of Momo and some very funny stories



It was one of the most fun things to put together. We loved hearing everyone's stories and all the great things they had to say about Papa.




Of course, then it was on to CAKE!


with 60 candles, he needed a little help ;)

cheesy boys

Those great Hizon and Valdes kids even brought entertainment :)

It was a great night! Happy birthday Papa!!!!
