Happy 50th Birthday Dad!!! My Mom and I decided last minute to throw my dad a party for turning the BIG 5-0! Today is his birthday, but we threw him a party last night. It was going to be a surprise but my Mom HATES surprise parties, so she told me to call him and ask if a party was okay. My exact words were "Dad! We're going to throw a surprise birthday party for you. Are you okay with that?!" And he said, "Only if there's karaoke involved." Who would have thought?!? So with a week's notice, out the invitations went, and we rented a professional karaoke machine with large speakers and over 10,000 songs to choose and Some Burros Mexican Food. More than 50 people came and our house was packed! It was soooo much fun!
Connor came with me to pick up the karaoke machine. What he didn't know was that I had to stop at the mall and Party City on the way home :) At Party City, I ordered a HUGE "Over the Hill" balloon and several black balloons to go with it. And then I saw these Mylar balloons that had numbers. So I chose a 5 and a 0 and paid for them. When the girl started blowing up the balloons, they were MASSIVE!! I didn't know they would be that big! I was laughing so hard and Connor was extremely annoyed because he knew that he would be the ones holding the balloons in the car. You should have seen us trying to shove all of these balloons in my car with karaoke speakers buckled in the back. I just kept laughing and Connor was yelling "SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!" The huge balloons took up so much space, I could not see except for right in front of me. Connor kept saying, "Is this illegal?!" And I just kept laughing. Good times.

I LOVE karaoke! I'm a terrible singer but I still love it. I was scrolling through the pictures and your cousin Cooper's wife Shalyn was in one of my classes last semester and I do her hair now. What a small world!
Wow! The pictures turned out great. It really was a fun party.
How dang fun!
