SURPRISE!

2014 can't continue without documenting Randy's 60th birth day.  We succeeded in completely surprising him with a party.  It was held on Nov. 27 at the Corona ball field ramada.  The next day would be Thanksgiving, so we plugged in a party the night before, since most of his siblings would already be here.  Invitations, decorations, banners, tagboard face images on sticks of Randy's changing stages, a tiered hostess treat cake, a "roasting", were all lovingly produced by each of our good children.   We were treated with fresh fry bread and beans, etc. ("etc." being the key word!)  The best part was that he was indeed surprised, even though he had every opportunity to put some strange pieces together!

On December 22, he officially turned 60.  Again, there was a wonderful dinner planned at Carianne's, and every child and grandchild rallied around.  It was also the night of the Messiah, where we claimed 3 of the participants!  Happy Day!
