Dad Jeppson's 60th Birthday

What do you get the man who has everything for his 60th? You type up a list of 60+ things/memories that you love about him, brave a blizzard, and let him take you out to dinner at a really nice seafood buffet!

Here are some pictures from our fun night in Deer Valley.
This is my cute sister in law Kim who is a vegetarian trying crab. The camera was slow in the low light, so this is the best shot I got of the EVENT.


Dad's small dinner plate resulted in dripping on his pants. He announced to us all that "I've got crabs!" and then they brought him a large dinner plate.

Me trying a bloody mary scallop shot. (non-alcoholic)

It was very tart.

Reading from the list.


"Dad is handsome and gets better looking with age...like a fine wine or cheese."
We love you Dad! It really was a fun night. Even the after party part where we headed home to the kiddos to clean up mystery poop in the basement. It was a group effort by us parents, the birthday boy was excused from doodie/duty so I guess that is the ultimate birthday gift.

Um, you actually took a picture of the mystery poop??? Looks like nobody wants to claim it. Come on put it in a cup and display it on a dresser with pride! Sound familiar? SICK!
I wanna know, Where was the babysitter?? You didn't make her clean it up before she left?

Mystery poop huh? Sounds yucky!

I can't believe Matt's dad is 60! Doesn't look like it one bit!

It was a mystery b/c we don't know who did it. At least we didn't at the time so we all cleaned it up. Yeah we didn't want to push the baby sitters too far since there were 6 wild indian kids they were babysitting. Scott told them not to worry and we would clean it up when we got home. Notice how in the last group picture he is on the phone? That's what they were discussing. Poop. Nice.

Love the 60+ reasons idea, how very thoughtful.

Also love the pucker after your bloody mary shot (non alcoholic - wink, wink).
