Surprise Party at Sista's


Last weekend, Sista and BIL hosted a surprise birthday party for our father, Wild Bill.  In April, he will be 96 years old.

Sista's dining room looked beautiful, as always.  





Sista used a lot of green because our Dad is a proud Irishman.

I wouldn't be surprised if these two run off together..

Wild Bill blew out all the candles with one breath!


No one never accused our family of not having a good time.

Have a great weekend!

  16. Your father is adorable and it looks like everyone had a great time! As I was enjoying reading about your celebration (and admiring your sister's lovely home and beautiful kitchen floors), I also was thinking that you all have the most beautiful skin. So I had to laugh when I started reading the comments. I remember your post about skin products. You don't need our advice; we need yours. Thanks for always putting a smile in my day.
