Happy 60th Birthday Dad!





For dad's 60th birthday, I wanted to do something a little different than the normal family party (at dad's house). I was originally looking into booking Bar Cinco on one of their off days....but it was getting way too expensive and overwhelming. So, we decided that we would reserve a bunch of tables there that would seat 30 people. The tough part was getting the guest list to fit with that number. With our huge, close family....it gets a little crazy when planning events. We all had such a great time....great food, great drinks (mojitos), great music and great service. Everyone that hadn't been there before was really impressed that Yelm had such a fun place with great atmosphere. Ruthy flew up to surprise dad and did a little number as "Mrs. Fancy Pants". Unfortunately, dad had a hunch that it was going to be Ruthy. It was still fun though! Lee was able to come as well because he ended up having a layover from Bozeman that landed him in Seattle....and ended up getting a free ticket and 2 day layover (to his request) because the original flight was overbooked.
One of the best things about having the party at Bar Cinco is that we didn't have to make the food or clean up! Dad loved his party and had lots of fun.

It was a great party! Glad we were there...too bad I couldn't hang with the big kids for the after party Ü

And I still don't think your dad looks even close to 60!
