I've always been a daddy's girl. There is no doubt about that. So, when my step-mom asked me to help out with my dad's 60th birthday party...of course, I was thrilled. She came up with the wonderful BBQ menu and I was in charge of cupcakes and decor. We wanted to do a theme that wasn't the usual "over the hill", something fun. My dad's newest hobby his riding his motorcycle. Perfect!! I came up with "Enjoying the Ride". I used speed limit signs, motorcycles, and other road signs to signify is wonderful ride to 60. The party went off without a hitch and it was a night full of family, laughter, and great food!!
