McComb Family

Friday I quickly went from being in "end of the school year" mode to "summertime/party" mode. We got out of school at 1:15 and had a staff luncheon/end of the year party/baby shower at 1:30. My aunt and uncle were expected to arrive at my house from Portland around noon, and I told them I'd try to be home by 3:00. I got home right on time and they pulled in the driveway literally a minute or two later. Talk about good timing!!! We chatted for a few minutes and then headed off to Austin's graduation party. I can't believe our "little" nephew is out of high school. And my little guy hasn't even started school yet....we've got a long road ahead of us!! Anyways, we headed back home and went out to dinner. We had a great visit, and then the next day the real party started........MY DAD'S SURPRISE 60TH!!!! I guess my mom did a great job of organizing it and keeping it a secret, but he started figuring things out Saturday morning. Rather than whisk him off somewhere, she decided to leave him home and he got to welcome all his guests as they arrived. Many people came from all over the country, so it was a very special day. Here's a group shot of most of the party-goers with the official "Partied with the Kissingers" t-shirt.

My mom went all out....she had it catered so that she would be able to enjoy herself as well. Great idea!! There were two people preparing and serving food and one guy bartending down in the cabana. Also, Devin requested a bounce house, so of course, Devin got a bounce house. He even shared with the other kids!!

The pool was a smashing success (even though it wasn't quite up to my temperature!). It didn't even matter if you had a bathing suit or not. No......not that type of swimming, but you might notice some people are fully dressed! : )

And of course, you can't have the pool without the cabana. That was a busy spot all day long (busier for some people than others, but we won't mention any names - he he!!!).

Then we had cake (one for my dad and one for my aunt, who actually share a birthday - she might want me at this time to mention that she's the younger sister!). The pictures pretty much speak for themselves, but notice the gleam in the eyes of a certain little boy!!!!

Finally, here are just a few shots of the many people who came to help my dad celebrate his special day. It was really great day!!!! Thanks to all who helped make it so memorable!
