On Saturday, January 9th, my mom had a combination retirement and birthday party for my dad. The whole family was able to make it, as well as Aunt Marilyn, Uncle David, Jacob, and his fiance, Lesley.
The crew after church on Sunday.
Display of John Deere mementos and pictures of Dad's life. Rachel also came up with a quiz, "How well do you know Mel?" Dad said it reminded him of a graduation party.
Notice a theme?!
We had tractors as centerpieces, which quickly became things for the kids to play with!
Grandpa and Daniel in their flannel shirts.
That night, we celebrated the January birthdays in the family (Dad, James and Bella) with two red cakes.
A gift from Aunt Marilyn and Uncle David--painting of Rock Castle, which was on their old stomping grounds. It had been hanging in the old bank, and Aunt Marilyn got it when they moved to the new bank.
