Fil's last day

Today is my Father-in-law’s last day of work.  After today he will officially be retired.  I think he’s a little excited.  So hubby and his sister decided to throw him a surprise retirement party Sunday.

I volunteered to make the cake.

Things have been crazy busy around our house; hubs & his sis decided on finger style foods & dips so my lovely mother came to our rescue and volunteered to make our food contribution.  Have I told you how much I love my mother.  She told us to worry about the house/lawn & the cake and she’d do the rest!

Our foods included:
Mozzarella Cheese Dip
Linda Evans Artichoke Dip
Hot Corn Dip
Jalapeno Bread
Deviled eggs
Cowboy Caviar

My Sister in law brought:
cream cheese/cheese wrapped in ham slices
pickle, cheese & Sausage

And there were a few other things too.

And I guess, there were only 2 retirement cards at Walmart.  Pretty much everyone got him the same card.  The other card was bought at the Hallmark store and it was the other one Walmart had :).

Here’s the necklace my Tbug made him.  She made his name upside down….  It’s cute and funny.

And she made him a book.

The other card.

The kids were outside playing on the tractor tire.

So anyway now we can all be jealous that he’s retired.  Happy Retirement Day!
