So then came the Big Day - Sunday! :)
First, we fixed Papa a big "Real Breakfast" (meaning eggs, potatoes, bacon, and watermelon).
Then we showed him his Birthday Blog. (http://www.eddischerturns50.blogspot.com/)
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO LEFT A BIRTHDAY GREETING ON THE BLOG!!! Papa enjoyed it very much.
Decorations...
Sweet babies! :)
Uh...peace?
He's da Man!
Mama and Mrs. Tanner
Mama and Baby
CANDY!!!!!!!!!!
(that was the cry heard in childish voices all around the room.
Suddenly he was quite popular ;-D)

"Oh no! You didn't!"
Daddy as he sees the embarrassing home video on the blog!
THEN, after church, Mama spirited Poor Unsuspecting Papa away, and the mad dash began!! :) :) :)
Lava Lamp...Groovy man!
So's we know what the occasion is... ;-)
We had German food, in honor of Daddy's heritage and love for that wonderful German flavor! :)
And of course we couldn't abandon his wife's Southern heritage! :)
Daddy as he realizes what is going on. He made a mad dash for it, but Uncle Chris and Mr. Graves tackled him, and drug him to the seat of honor...just kidding. Uncle Chris and Mr. Graves had something else in mind. :)
Papa and his lovely Bride.
Uncle Chris and Mr. Graves gave Daddy a "Blast from the Past" as they called it. :
VERY funny to watch! :):):)

Then, the party was over, and it was time to wind down, and think about...

"OK, Gang! Let's - Get - Started!!! Let's get some good vibes goin' on!"
"Hello, Folks!, meet my pickle jar!"
"Oh no! He's had too much sugar!"
(Notice Amanda's face)
"I'll dump some organic sugar on you!"
No, they love each other...after all they ARE related...
"Let's Get Started! I'm feelin' the love!"
Cool! I can see myself in this glass - like wow"
Uh... just hang loose there, Amanda
Emma had the right idea... :-D
"HUH? The party's not over!!!"
"YA'LL COME BACK NOW, YA HEAR??"
"Yea...see ya'll later..."
Thank you, everyone who came! We regret that we did not get a picture of everyone - especially Grandma Harris. We love you all. Thank you for making it a VERY special day!

disclaimer: we have no idea whether our 70s slang really "fits". Don't judge us...please!!! Since we "weren't there" all we could do was use an online list of 70s slang. Oh! and Grandmama dug out a few phrases from that decade! All in all it was fun and Daddy enjoyed it!

Fun, fun, fun! Thanks for all the pics, it was like we were almost there! Uncle Chris and Mr. Graves were dead-on! (if I can make my poor mind dredge up the awful fashion memories of the 70's!)
Aunt Katie
Oh my goodness, you guys are too funny. Loved your cake, decorations, and your bad 70s slang. :) So funny to see the dignified Miss Bonnie dressed up!
Oh, that was so much fun! You all did a great job! I don't think I can handle that 70's slang another minute though!!
I hated my costume -- it looked like I was a tourist in Acapulco.
Love,
Aunt Molly
This was definetley one of the most hilarious posts ever!! Y'all come up with some...ahem...very... creative ideas!! What fun.
Mr. Stricklen looked so funny! Oh, and of course, we love the picture of "Groovy Granny!" Thanks for posting pictures.

Thanks everybody for the comments. Glad you enjoyed our silliness! Eddie was amazed that everybody actually dressed up! It was a really far out party. (That was for you, Molly, now get back on the cruise ship. Bingo is about to start.)
RG told us the Dischers sure know how to throw a party!
Looking forward to seeing y'all again hopefully sooner rather than later!
