Preps for the Party of the Year!!! :) :) :)

Last Monday, Mama and us kids realized that, with all that had been going on, Daddy's 50th Birthday had snuck up on us! We discovered that we had precisely 6 days to get a party up and going--one that Daddy was not likely to forget! (it was 70's themed. Daddy was really jivin' in the 70's--long hair, shades, groovy threads and all :-D) So, we got on gmail and the phone and started working...

Daddy is a wonderful artist.

Here is one of the several horses he has drawn. :)

Another of Ed Discher's artistic works

He looks like he's planning something...a 50th birthday party, perhaps? :)

Emma on her throne...

Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures during the week of secret e-mailing, blog creating, planning, and working...

until Saturday--the day before the big event! So, that is where we will start... :)

Tablecloths in the making...ugly, aren't they?? :)

The Babysitter

The Babysat. :)

Making the cakes.

(yes, cakes..there were 2 cakes and a pie. :D)

Making brightly-colored decorations

The finished pie--and was it ever good! :)

"I wonder if anyone would notice if it went missing??"

The Frosting Makers

Frosting has been made!

They look like little men with peaked hats. :)

Funky colors

"Eating frosting? Who? ME??"

2 Cuties

"Does this look 70's enough to you???"

Starting on the great experiment

No comment...

Great expectations! :)

Looks like we have another "artist" in the family
