What the party entails.

So my dad’s surprise party (which is no longer a surprise) is coming up, and I want Amyra’s attitude. I asked her if she’s looking forward to meeting Grandpa’s friends, and she said, “Heck, yeah I am!” I just loved that. I love so many people who will be there, but I just don’t do well around crowds. So here is a rough estimate of what is going to happen. A lunch, a slideshow, some people asked to say some words, and then near the end comes the idea I had that was partly a joke that my sister took and ran with, much to my hesitation. My dad’s new passport photo is hilarious. He showed me, and I immediately erupted into UPROARIOUS laughter. He showed it to a few people and they couldn’t stop laughing. Guys, I promise you, it’s pure hilarity. I told my sister it’s too bad we can’t blow that up, and have people take their picture with it. She took that idea and ran with it. The thing is, does he really want that on Facebook? He’s going to bust a gut laughing at it, but I know people will Facebook that, and I can’t imagine he’ll love that since he told my sister he did not want a party. In the end, he makes fun of himself so much I know he’ll be a good sport. There is also a huge card I bought for everyone to sign, and a space for any cards people bring and presents (my dad was not thrilled about people buying presents, but Mindy told him he shouldn’t cheat others out of doing something nice.) Friday night the church people are coming to decorate, and 11:30am Saturday is the party (odd time for a party to me). Anyone want to offer last minute tips other than cancel it?
