Retirement Dinner

My Dad's retirement party was awesome! It was so fun to hear all the great things about him from those who had worked with him over the years. My Dad worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the government for 40 years and we never knew the exact details of his work. So it was great to learn more about what he did as well as how respected and admired he is by those in his field of work. I love this picture of my parents and Michael: And here is my dad accepting awards:

All of my brothers and sisters were able to make it to the party so it made it even more special.

We pitched in on a gift for my dad. A special thanks to Michael for picking out the perfect gift and doing such a great job of presenting it to Dad!! It is so impressive to me that my Dad was able to stay at a job that he truly loved for such a long period of time and to do so awesome at it. I love you Dad!
