It was dads birthday today! we had a wonderful party. 
Dad got home and the whole house was decorated with streamers hanging from the ceiling. Grandma and Grampa came over along with mandy and her little tyson. so the six of us had a kind of italian style dinner with lasagne and breadsticks. before dinner started however, we opened presents! dad got some free weights to work out with from his wifey, a big picture book of memories from his mother, a beautiful handmade polished bookrest from his father, a home depot gift card from mandy and tj, and a brand new garage opener with a man coming to install it in the garage two days. he was happy..
Dad mentioned when he was four or so on his birthday, he remembered his dad had hid some hokey toy cars behind the mantle above the fireplace. But he remembered just loving that gift so much, and playing with them all day long. so faye and ryan bought some "equally hokey" ones and hid them on the mantle to be seen during dinner.
Here is what the lovely mom made the dinner table to be...
