Happy 80th Birthday Tommy

This weekend we had the pleasure of being invited to our very good friends 80th b-day surprise party. These are our neighbors from our old house here in Ohio, Tommy & Colleen. They are like 2nd grandparents to our children and like a 2nd set of parents to me and Rich. It all started when I moved out here with Rich and they lived next door. Not so long after that, Olivia was born and they just couldn't get enough of that little girl. Unfortunately, I wanted to move back home and we moved. Well x-amount of time later we ended up moving back to that house and they just took us under their wings and made us feel like that was home. They are the type of people that if your kid does something in their yard, they just sort of say "whatever". Love those kind of neighbors. So anyway, long story short, they have been there for me when I felt like I didn't have nobody out here, and they have "adopted" my children as their very own grandchildren and spoil them just as much! Tommy don't like big crowds and does his very best to avoid them, but he was a pro at his party. It held up to be a huge surprise, he wasn't none the wiser. I'm not sure that you should do that to a 80yr.old man!!
Olivia found some grown-ups downstairs to teach her games and Logan, after his crying fit, b/c he was in a room full of people he did not know(yes, we are at that stage), it was a very nice time with a very nice bunch of people................
