...and then I gave my camera to Adam and Jessica. They then proceeded to take about 400 blurry pictures. The following are all that I could salvage, haha. In the end, there were only 10 of 430 pictures that THEY took that were NOT blurry, and they are all in this post!!!
My dad retired last Friday. He had a work party with his TTC friends that I posted about here, and this weekend my brother and I threw him a party for friends and family at Mill Street Brew Pub in the Distillery District. We headed down early to set up and meet my parents for dinner before the other guests arrived. Cab ride over - balloons!!! Distillery + balloons = fun Adam and Matt with their flights of seasonal beer (I like the lemon tea beer the best) Even mom drank beer - Frambozen! My aunt Andrea made a toolbox cake with cookie tools!!! Incredible! It was really good - thanks so much Andrea!!! Party decor - see my post on DIY Paper Bunting here Adam was in charge of the balloons He also framed a picture of my dad that was in the paper years ago, and got everyone to sign the matte around it Matt cut a slot in a memory box I got and people wrote messages about what they thought my dad should do now that he is retired - a lot had to do with renovations and house work! Very convenient that the Mill Street decor matched mine! My brother and I were proud of our party! ...and then I gave my camera to Adam and Jessica. They then proceeded to take about 400 blurry pictures. The following are all that I could salvage, haha. In the end, there were only 10 of 430 pictures that THEY took that were NOT blurry, and they are all in this post!!! My mom taking a picture of Adam taking a picture...I want to see the other side of this! Dad talking with family The girls...and he really liked that "yeast" sign for some reason...

I vomited all over my keyboard after reading your yeast comment. That's disgusting; I'm severely and adamantly appalled.
