The Big Five-Oh

The other weekend I went back home to Virginia for a very special occasion.  My dad turned 50!  For his birthday he wanted to go to Top Golf up in Ashburn and it was a great idea.  All of our friends and family came out to celebrate with him and he loved every minute of it.  My mom had 4 booths set up for all us to play in.  Some of us (like my dad and his buddies) were really good.. while others (me and Rocio) weren't the best.  It didn't matter though because it's all about the company you keep and we had really good company.

My mom slayed the decorations as well.  So many balloons and gag gifts spread out throughout the tables.  Little signs that made jokes about how old my dad is.  The jokes didn't stop there though because I think just about everyone got him a gag gift.  From what I can remember he got adult diapers, hemorrhoid cream, a cape that said "super old," a book dedicated to the year he was born, grandpa underwear, vitamins that old people take, hair dye kit, a fake pair of dentures, a listening device and so, so, so much more.

For those who don't know my dad, he is the funniest person I have ever met.  He's hilarious when he's sober then get some beer (or gin and tonic apparently) in him and he will have the whole room in tears.  I love my dad and how he can just bring so much joy in any room that he walks into.  I'm really happy I came home to celebrate with him.  Happy Birthday Papa Katz!  Here's to another fifty years!
