Grandpa's 60th Birthday/O'Connor Reunion

A few weeks ago, we had a surprise 60th birthday party for Keith's dad, Art. It was held a few weeks after his actual birthday, so he wouldn't suspect anything. He is a very hard person to surprise....the party was being thought of as a O'Connor Family Reunion for everyone concerned...but we also invited a bunch of Art's friends that he knew nothing about....it took some scheming to get email addresses for his friends, but we got them.

We made the party decor a luau since Art enjoyed vacationing in Hawaii last year. He had all of Art's friends hide outside in the burning heat until he arrived....and SURPRISE!!! I think we actually got him! At least he says so. :) We had an enjoyable time meeting new friends and catching up with family. The day turned out really nice and the rain didn't come till the end of the day.



Miss Rhonda made such a beautiful cake....like she always does!!

This was my first time to make a watermelon basket....and I have to say it turned out pretty good. :)Here are most of the O'Connor's......Art even got us all t-shirts to commemorate the reunion.
