Keeping Up With Kristy: Happy 50th Dad!

Friday was my Dad's 50th birthday. After attending my Aunt Ida's viewing we went out to eat with Aunt Sissy & Uncle Ed and Julie and Doug to Red Lobster to celebrate Dad and Ed's birthday. We had a good time. I think it is so ironic that my Mom and Aunt Sissy married two guys with the same birthday, April 17th, which also happens to be their grandfather's birthday. And Jaime and Andy got married on April 17th, so needless to say it is a special day for our family.

Saturday was HECTIC! I had to teach science camp and our bus did not show up. I was stuck outside (school was locked) waiting with 34 kids for a bus. I had to call and get them to send someone and we made it to camp right on time. After science camp, I went to tan, get my nails done, and buy the decorations and balloons for Dad's party. While I did that, David took care of his gift which he did a good job on.

As soon as we got home it was time to get dressed to go. I was a little frustrated because I had a headache and needed a nap, but I managed. We had his party at Ruby Tuesday's at the Harbor in Rockwall. It was very nice, the food and service were great. We were out on the patio enjoying the view of the lake and all the pretty girls in their prom dresses. The kiddos had a good time catching ladybugs.

After we ate we headed to Winstar. My Dad's party had a casino theme because he loves to gamble. We had a great time and did not get home until 7:30 Sunday morning. I lost all of my money, but my husband was lucky! I am not sure how much he won- I think he is hiding it from me :) The big winners were Mom, David and Kevin. The big losers were me, Dad, and Granny. I am not sure how anyone else did. That place was HUGE! I slept until 3:00 yesterday and when I woke up I still had a headache and now I had a sore throat. So today I am sick and exhausted, but thats okay. My Dad had a wonderful birthday with friends and family and his party was a success!!
