we bought him chocolate cake, canadian pizza and made drinks for the so called party food. the card and the present we finished preparing two hours before, so it was all rushed but we pulled it off. yeay us!
thankfully, dad fell asleep when we left the house to get the party food and he was still asleep when we returned and rushed about getting everything ready. i think we managed to get everything settled in ten - fifteen minutes. we made mom do the job of waking dad up from his slumber.
she managed to do it with the excuse of someone wanting to see him and was he surprised when he saw the setup upon leaving the master bedroom to get to the door. we sang him a birthday song. we took pictures. he blew out the candles. read the birthday card. took some more pictures. opened his birthday present, we got him Doctor Martens' boots, he said thank you to all of us and we cut the cake and enjoyed the food.
it was nothing grand just a small close knit celebration. i suppose these are the kind that really matters to my family. it doesn't have to be grand at all but it's the thought and the people that surround you that matters.
once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!
