Father's Party

We planned a surprise Birthday Party/Roast for Fr. Jon's 50th birthday. It was so much fun. During the roast he was laughing so hard he could not read the letter his brother sent. That alone was well worth all the work it took to plan a party without him finding out. It was really neat. I got a bunch of pictures from when he was a kid and the principal of the school made a video that was amazing and watching it made me realize how blessed we are that he is at our parish. I actually got up in front of everyone and roasted father. I have never got up in front of anyone before and spoke. I don't even like it when they make the CCD teachers go up in front of the church for a blessing. But, I expect my Confirmation kids to get up and say the Rosary before Mass and do things in front of people, so I figure I need to put my money where my mouth is. Considering I have never planned anything more than a kids birthday party or sleepover, it turned out very good.
