As in the previous post, Friday was Pop's birthday. On Saturday (very early in the morning) we made our way up to Carlisle, PA for his surprise birthday party.
Pop has an affection for the old western movies, John Wayne style. We decided to go with this for his birthday party theme. Read: a plastic curtain that had wooden swinging doors painted on it, complete with fake bullet holes.
All of his family was there (1 daughter, 6 grandkids and their families) and his friends. Unfortunately, my grandma/his other daughter was unable to make it as she's not mental well enough.
I think he was very surprised...when he walked into the room he had the "why is everyone I know in the room?" face
After he went around the room greeting everyone, he decided to check out what the spread for lunch was, I think he approved.
Next we did cake.
And then it was present time. He took that time to read all his cards and open his presents. Pausing in between each one to tell me a story that was related to the present :)
After presents, it was time to take pictures...

I think all in all, the party was definitely a success. I can't wait for next years 100 year celebration :)
