Hip 50's Bash a Hit!

Mom & Dad's 50's theme 60th Birthday bash was a Hit. We all dressed up 50's style. Ian and Mike in their white shirts, dark jeans and slicked hair. Mike even sported a black leather jacket and traded his motorcycle for a 50's style one! I wore a 50's style dress with cateye glasses and a neck scarf. FUN! But of course, Ian took the cutest prize and even sported a pack rolled in his sleeve (of organic raisins of course!:-) ).

I decorated the place in all black, red and white with jukebox and record-like balloons and ice cream sundae flower decorations. Of course we had 50s music playing and hula hoops for fun. For dinner we had burgers and hot dogs in baskets and ice cream floats, and libations all around. For dessert we had ice cream sundaes and I made 2 cakes both looking like records with black frosting -- which made all our mouths turn purple! Yum Yum.

But the guests we of course the most important ingredient. Almost everybody dressed up and it was a hoot. Here are a couple pictures. I'll post more when I get back some from others that were clicking away....







By the end of the night Ian was still running strong and sleepy at the same time. I snagged this hilarious picture when he laid down on the couch and the static electricity made his hair stand straight up!
