On Friday Marc's mom threw a surprise retirement party for Rod, Marc's dad. He has worked for the railroad for 41 years and is retiring in a few weeks. Peggy had planned a really fun party. She had a pig roasted for the occasion, made a video, had guest speakers, and a little performance by the grandkids. It was so much fun, and everyone had a good time. I didn't get too many pictures due to my arms being full of sleeping baby, but here's a couple of shots from the party.
This is Marc helping Molly tell everyone what she loves about Grandpa. All the grandkids told one thing they loved about Grandpa. Then they each put a Hawaiian Lei around his neck.
This is what he looked like after they all had a turn.
Poor piggy. Sure was tasty, though.
We had such a fun time. Peggy spent months planning this thing. And it turned out really great, except for the guest of honor showing up ten minutes early. (Whatever, Rick) No, seriously, Rod was so surprised. You can tell how great of a guy he is by the tons of people that showed up to his party. We love you, and we're so excited for you be able to enjoy your retirement. You deserve it. Oh yeah, and a little trip to Hawaii would be nice. :)

Great Pictures. I didn't even think about doing that. I am glad you did.
