I hope your dad has a happy retirement after his many years of hard work. He deserves it. Reading your post made me smile as you seem to have such sweet traditions, you also described everything so well I could picture it in my mind, it also made me miss my family. I have nieces that are also growing up so fast and I miss so much living so far away. I fear I may regret it in the future. I'm glad you had a lovely holiday. Have a wonderful day Kari.:) Karla Do Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891979092086164245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851199366897333153.post-47258290470191056202016-01-13T21:15:55.530-06:002016-01-13T21:15:55.530-06:00"But it's so much more fun to touch the b..."But it's so much more fun to touch the baby's head!" :P Kudos for planning the surprise party in just one night, that's pretty impressive, so is 40+ years. You're right that people don't tend to stay in the same place so much anymore--I think part of it is globalization, crossing country boarders and even moving from one side of the country to the other for a change seems fairly common. My Dad put in 17 years at his company before my family moved overseas, and now it's been over 12 years with the second job. Angel, on the other hand, has had 3 different jobs since our marriage since we've lived in 3 countries. I hope he stays at this job for a good long time, though--we want to if we can!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.com
