john o'malley's 75th birthday January 10, 2001 marked Dad's 75th year on the planet! The next Saturday, we gathered at O'Malley's Restaurant for a surprise party. Dad thought he'd been brought downstairs by the proprietor to admire a remodeling job... ...and his pleasure at finding a roomful of friends and family is plain to see! Dad chats with neighbor Paul... ...while Mom fusses over the chow! Mom and Dianna chat as the hungry troops line up. Tim and Terry: we need bigger plates. John Kevin O'Malley, known amongst his friends as "Kev". (And amongst most of the O'Malley's around these parts as "Dad".) The Official JohnnyO 75th Birthday Cake (JohnnyO action figure sold separately) Dad enjoys the album Mom made containing pictures of him from early childhood to present times, while Deb looks on. Tim, Mom, Wendy and John share a laugh. This bunch looks like trouble. Mom believes Dad should put the beer down while opening presents... ...Dad believes otherwise. Dog Butts! A decorative walker? Some sort of bondage device? {shrug} Whatever it is, he seems pleased. Your humble photographer is distracted by the sight of this luscious babe over at the table. Shamrocks and Leprechauns! An Irish Teddy Bear The crowd cheers on the birthday boy. Argyle socks?! What's next?! Zooming around a Florida golf course in one of those funny little hats?! The Top Ten Over The Hill Party Games Neighbors Judy and Terry enjoy the fun. Mom is just waaaay too excited about those boxers. 'This box contains items that have served you a lot of years, from 1926 to 2000 - Half of 150 years. Since birth till now and hopefully keep you going and going and going and going many more.' Raisin Bran. ooookay. moving right along... Dad blows out a candle or seven. (well, no store in town had enough candles!) Marty attempts to restrain Sean, who can't resist big piles of wrapping paper. Father and Sons Freshening up for the next 75! [ familycam ]     [ home ] Happy Birthday Dad! You Da Man!
