Yesterday was my dad’s 50th birthday!! It was perfect timing for us to be in town so that we could be here to celebrate with him. We had a fabulous birthday party and the girls and I loved being a part of it. On this special birthday I want to tell my dad how much he means to me. Anyone who knows my dad knows how wonderful he is. He is the friendliest, most outgoing and Christ-like person I know. He always puts others before himself and can make people laugh without even trying. He has always made an effort to be part of my life and make me feel loved. I had a perfect example growing up and looked to him to know exactly what traits I wanted in a husband. I always wanted my kids to have a dad like I have because of how wonderful he is (and I think they will – Nate is a fantastic dad!). For his birthday, my siblings and I gave him a book filled with pictures and memories we had growing up with him. As I spent time looking through pictures and writing my thoughts, I was overwhelmed with the positive influence he has been in my life and the love I have always felt from him. I think I am especially blessed to have a dad like I do! And I know my siblings feel the same…we filled the max number of pages for the book (160) and could have probably filled another one had we had the time. Dad, I love you so much and am so thankful to be your daughter! Happy Birthday!

Luckily he had Ben & Andrew there to help blow out the candles!
I made a couple of cakes for the party - this one is is a chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream in the middle
