Dad's 80th Birthday Celebration


Music was the theme.  Table runners were made with music fabric.  We burned CD's with a young photo of Dad etched onto each CD along with the title "Faith, Family & Friends".  The songs chosen were some of Dad's favorites.  Included was a recording of our whole family singing on Christmas Eve.  The CD's were a take home gift for each couple as well as a place card for seating arrangements.  
One of Dad's favorite songs, Edelweiss, was used as a centerpiece to compliment the table runners.  Who knew you could order this plant online.  Each family took home a plant and planted it in their yard.  It's a wonderful memory every Spring when it begins to come up.  
Mini lanterns with battery candles were sprinkled around the tables.
