Memories of an Old Man!


Hey Eliza Here! Doing the her duty on the blog! (for the record, the second time, since the last one was deleted second within completion!!!) 

This week (Tuesday to be exact) we celebrate Daddy's 46 birthday!!! yeah!!! This wondrous occasion was celebrated with homemade pizza's! The pizza's were imitations of the famous ones from Christmas eve, as they did not have quite as many toppings, but they were yummy nevertheless!!! 

   This is Dads creation.  And this is Dad enjoying his creation! 

        
                                                       
This year each child also completed a questionnaire for their knowledgeable father. This questionnaire covered various fun facts about the year he was their age. (For example: I did a little quiz on the year 1976 because that was the year he was 13) These questionnaires covered anything the child wanted, though most of them covered things like the top songs, super bowls, Olympics, world news, world leaders, world records...ect. Dad did pretty well on Taft and Trey's, and moderately well on mine, but we didn't even make quizzes for when he was 9 and 4 because we didn't think his memory would reach out that far!!! 

Because some of the top songs of those memorable year were songs the children were not familiar with, mom and dad began education our minds with classic seventies literature (or in my words, the crazy hippiness of the seventies!!! man, the seventies were sooooo retro!!!!) Our little peruse through the seventies lasted a little longer than anticipated, and the rest of the night was spent cleaning up pizza mess and reliving the seventies!! 

      
Thaddeus didn't know what        This is an example of
to think of the seventies            the very retro seventies!
