Happy Birthday Dad!

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday.  Hubby and I invited my folks and my Dad's family over to our place for dinner.  We had been wanting to have them come over this Summer and finally it came to together on Dad's birthday.  We decided not to join them for dinner but wait on them for dinner.  These special people  all deserve some special treatment.

 Hubby and I spent the day cooking and prepping.  We had appetizers set out on the patio.  The weather this September is perfect for the evening to begin outside and then come inside for dinner as it gets cooler.

 My sister that is a Snapsister came by for a impromptu mini shoot during happy hour.

Thanks Jodi!

Jodi sent me a shot of myself with Aunt Nelda, I'm not sure what was so funny but we're having a good laugh.  I'm on duty so I've got the apron on and the timer in my hand.  Oh, and I hadn't had any wine yet, definitely, on duty.  Hubby was slaving away in the kitchen while I was yukking it up on the patio... 

He's a saint.

We moved inside for dinner.

We served pumpkin roll and honeymoon bars with coffee for dessert.  Hubby and I sat down and joined them for dessert.  It was fun to give them a special night, celebrate my Dad and enjoy the beginning of Autumn.
