This past Sunday we threw a surprise 60th birthday party for Dada! His actual birthday is on November 27th, but we decided to celebrate it earlier in the month to add to the surprise element and ensure a chance to celebrate before the baby came!
Preparing for a surprise party is always a lot of fun! First, Mom, Neil and I came up with a theme and plan. We made a guest list and decided on a venue and catering. Of course we chose to have the party at a golf course and we chose the theme to be about Dad's passion and commitment to the advancement of youth.
Krish was also so excited to plan Dada's birthday and was so helpful in the process. He helped me pick out and order the golf birthday cake, and he helped Daddy pick out the banner and balloons. He was so stoked to go golfing with Dada, Daddy, Pankaj Kaka and the gang the morning of the party too! He is extremely into golf now, and it is very sweet to see him developing such an interest in Daddy and Dada's favorite sport! Part of the surprise for the party was to have the guys go play a round of golf in the morning and end up at the party hall when they were done. I have to say, I'm sure they all missed CC Kaka dearly on the golf course!
The party was a hit and although I think Dad figured out a few things along the way, he had no idea of our theme and was very excited to see all the youth among the guests and everything we put into throwing the party! We all had a wonderful celebration together!
