dad's retirement party
a few months late but i'm just getting to posting some photos from the surprise party we threw over christmas for my dad. the theme was an old hollywood style and we added in mustaches since we've never known my dad to be without one. we set up a photobooth and decorated and black, white, grey and shades of green. we put famous 'dad' quotes on all the drinks, i cut out his silhouette from a piece of paper to sprinkle on tiny black nonparieles to create his image on the cake (you need patience for this but it's a great effect) and hung his silhouette around the house. we played a few games, sang him a song that my little brother wrote about his life, and read quotes from people in his past. i love the photo of my nephew up top staring at his mom wondering why she has a mustach. there are a lot more photos of the other guests, decor, etc. but most of this is my family.
