We have been in extreme party mode over here. Right after we celebrated the holidays, we jumped head first into planning a surprise {joint} birthday party for my dad! He and his college bud Daryl turned 60 in the same month so the wives and children got together to plan a nice shin-dig.
A lot of planning went into this - lots of secret text messages, phone calls, emails and meetings. Thankfully, as we found out at the party, neither birthday boy literally had no clue and that was the best part!

So the big day finally was here! We met up at our church and got hustling on the decor.
We had some great helpers get excited with the photo booth props. They really thought we just brought all that for them to play with.

The guys were each told a different story to get them to our church. Since neither of them are members there, we had to get creative. Daryl was told he was coming to a wedding reception for some long time members. My dad was told that they needed to come get my kids so Justin and I could attend an event that night after we were done setting it up. Both stories worked like a charm and when they "miraculously" met up in the parking lot, they were discussing why they were there!
Some details that we worked hard on -
 |
| Facts from 1954 - just to make them realize how old they were ;) |
 |
| Photo collages for both through the years |
 |
| Fun napkins to celebrate the Vintage Dudes |
 |
| Photo booth and props! |
We of course had to get pictures of the crazy roommates from back in the OC {Oklahoma Christian} days...
and the whole OC crew!
