Adam's Retirement Party

My parents and I had a retirement party for Adam last weekend in Atlanta at my parent's house.  I felt a little strange every time I said "retirement party" since Adam is so young and likely has many years of work ahead, but he definitely deserves the recognition and celebration!  I was going to try and make it a surprise but I did not think I could get Adam to Atlanta and pull it off without telling him, so I did end up telling him about the party.  We invited close friends and family and had a great time visiting with everyone!  Here are some pictures from the night.  I started taking a few pictures at the beginning of the night but didn't get very far...hopefully my mom took more pictures than I did :o

 I ordered the cake from a local bakery.  It turned out pretty good!  Adam was in the Cavalry when he was aviation in the Army so I thought the stetson would make a cute cake.

 Ryan, Cohen and Eleanor.  Ryan and Eleanor are my friend's, Sharon and Jenn, children.  Cohen had a blast playing with them!  The rest of our friends decided to leave their kids at home and make it an "adult" evening.
