On March 30th, my wonderfully amazing dad (Albert) turned 60! Sandy, Brian and I had been working for months on a surprise party for him, which we held on Sunday at Dad & Sandy's house. We invited about 40 of his closest friends over for the celebration and to "roast" my dad. It was amazing! Brian and I also worked very hard on a video that showed my dad over the years, which he loved, and we loved making! I don't think I can post the video on here, but I'll post a few pictures we used in the video.
