Mawmaw and Pawpaw, Pam and Dickey all came down from the Houston area to celebrate with us; Uncle Warren came from Merkel; Rosie and Ronnie came from Abilene; Nanny came from Oklahoma. Then, lots of church friends and the family that still lives in the Burk area! It was a lot of fun!
Since there were so many people there, we had the party at the Boys and Girls Club in Burk. Dad got "roasted" a little bit... but mostly it was kind words about him. I mean, it's my dad... you can't say many "bad" things about him! We enjoyed seeing everyone!
Back at the house it was fun to hang out with all the family. We played some Wii... which is always entertaining with the Bankhead crew! Then Sunday everyone came over for lunch after church. It was great!
Here are a few pics to recap that weekend... The birthday party crowd
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pic of Mallory and Nanny!

Here's dad's "Thank you speech" after everyone else talked. (I apologize for the shaky camera- I was holding it above my head to get a good shot!)"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear, dad/Pop/Larry/Bank/ whatever else you call him!"
