Oh yeah... I almost forgot!

We totally did my dad's party two weeks after my surprise party.
Now that - was AWESOME!!!

Let me tell you what we did.
1) We rented a banquet room at one of the yummiest restaurants in town - Maggiano's
2) We invited about 80 ppl and 65 ppl RSVP'ed - though we called in the final head count as 70
3) We had a 4 course meal with tea,water,hot tea, coffee to drink - as well as red/white wine
4) We made a short movie where I went around and interviewed some friends and family asking them what they thought was my dad's secret to making it to 50
5) had a cardboard cutout made of my dad (super fun! and I used this site - LOVE'd them!)
6) Had a photobooth (using this photographer) with a BUNCH of props for people to use
7) Had a great latin dj play some fun music so ppl could dance it up (if the link doesnt work, let me know if you need his contact info)
8) Ended the night with a big hug/kiss from one of my favorite guys in the whole world (DAD)


So I wish I knew how to do movie postings so I could show you the film that we made (it was HILARIOUS), but in any case here are some pics of the night!

ok.. so this picture is NOT from that night, but these are probably two of my fav guys - besides the hubs of course! (the one on the left was the birthday boy and the one on the right is his older brother)

Cake table with pictures of my dad through out his life.

my stepdad (who ironically is one of my dad's best friends) the hubs and myself.

my younger brother getting ready for the photobooth (loooove the big afro!)
other photobooth goers

the birthday boy getting into the photobooth action (can you see the cardboard cut out on the far left??? - it ended up with a bandana at the end of the night - sooooo funny)
good looking photobooth goers!

The birthday boy (with yellow hardhat) and his main guys (his older brothers and his dad) in the photobooth. These guys look so good!!

I wish I could post more pictures but I can't find my camera's usb thingy... so I will try to get the hubs to figure it out for me and then I will post more.

We had a great time and the restaurant did a great job of making sure we had what we needed. Hat's off to them! The photographer (and my sister) did a great job on the photobooth! They had all the props and we just added the fun!

Hasta!
