This past weekend we celebrated Poppy’s 70th birthday with a dinner party with family and some friends. My mom had the great idea of turning the house into a diner and serving “tastings” of some of my dad’s favorite foods. So, while the house was being prepared for the party, Mark, Garland, Bo, and Pops went golfing and the party preparations began.
This was the list of courses that each person was going to get. All of them were some of Poppy’s favorite foods, and my mom did a great job of mapping out the menu and planning how to keep all the courses flowing smoothly.
All the grandaughters were supposed to be the waitresses for the party, and all were so excited to be a part. Unfortunately, just before we were to head over to the house to help get ready for the party, Nina got sick with the stomach bug, so she was understandably devastated not to be able to help out. The other four looked so cute and did a really great job as waitresses – passing the appetizers, getting drinks for the guests, and serving all the different courses to the guests.
Mouse even had a special shirt made for Pops to wear during the party…
…and when the guys got back from golfing, Poppy was greated by some enthusiastic girls!
The party was such a wonderful event. The theme was so fun and creative, and all the guests really seemed to enjoy themselves.
I felt so bad for Nina who was miserable for the entirety of the evening. She ended up feeling better later the next day, but she was so disappointed to miss out on the fun of the party.
We finished the evening by playing a little game of guess if the celebrity is older or younger than Poppy, and when all was said and done we were stuffed from all the eating and sufficiently wiped out from the busy day. However, the party was a huge success, and we were so glad for a fun evening to celebrate how much we love Pops and are thankful for his 70th birthday!
