My Dad's 60th Birthday! January 27, 2007

Holy Moly! Big Bri (yes, that makes me "Lil' Bri") hit the big six-oh! I headed out to New Jersey on Saturday afternoon to celebrate!


Saturday, January 27th

A few weeks prior to my dad's birthday, I called him and asked him what he wanted for his birthday. When I'd been home for the holiday in December, I'd brought my Wii along and my loved the golf game...so he told me he wanted a Wii for his birthday! (This was back when Wiis were pretty much impossible to find, but I put a couple of extra to dollars to work on eBay and managed to get one for the birthday boy!). We set it up immediately and got our Wii golf on! Here's the birthday boy getting ready to tee off!    tags: dad golf videogames wii

My dad's brother Bruce (aka "Uncle Moose!") was there to tee off with him (Just like in real life!).    tags: uncle bruce golf videogames wii


After we'd finished playing a few rounds of Wii golf, it was time to head to The Barn (the restaurant in my hometown that's the site of impromptu class reunions every year at Thanksgiving!) for a birthday dinner!    tags: family

After the cake had been doled out, it was time for presents. Check out my dad subtly flipping the bird because of all the "You're Old!" cards he got. Hahahah.    tags: dad birthday card the bird


Notable gift of the night included Uncle Wayne's sick "Superdude" jersey...    tags: dad birthday gift
