Happy 60th Birthday!

The day after Max's retirement, he turned 60.
(The posts appear out of order because there are too many to post at one sitting.) ;)

Anyhow, the weekend was full and fun. 

The fun began at 2:00. And we finished up at midnight with board games with the last of our company. (It is real difficult to leave our home without a board game. Payton will make sure of it. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm that tree!) :)






Some of the guys enjoying the outdoors...(although, we were having a cool front, so a little too cool for the gals). 


Auntie Darla enjoying some appetizers.





Football playoffs going on in the living room.



 
Vicky accusing me of something?  :)


I could't resist.... :)


Getting ready to sing and cut the cake(s!) (He had his two favorites. A German chocolate my mom made, and a tiramisu I made...and few other treats. Sugar is never a shortage with Max around.) :)



Max refusing to give "another" speech. :)



A hug and Subway art from me...


Gathering so he can open his presents.



All the cute posers.....



He got so many thoughtful gifts and a few gag ones (from me).  :)

But with the weekend coming to an end...Max finally lost it while opening gifts. 
With the combination of our wonderful families and his special friends blessing him with their generosity and time, he was overwhelmed. 

I thank the Lord for such a special weekend for a very special man. 

We also celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in December. The quote below sums up our life together.

"The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation." By Adrian Rogers
