The recent weekend in which my family was all together—a relatively uncommon occurrence even in the best of times—featured not only Robert’s baptism, as I previously shared, but a milestone birthday celebration, too. That milestone being Jim’s sixtieth birthday.

The birthday festivities, organized primarily by Megan, revolved around a rockin’ theme as rock music (and a fair portion of country, too) has been a nearly lifelong love of our favorite patriarch. One of the festivity highlights was the request for celebrants to wear a tee of a band or musician known to be one of PawDad’s favorites.

From baby Robert on up to the birthday man himself, the family rocked PawDad’s party with their selections:

It was a rockin’ celebration, for sure. There were not only cool tees but an amazing guitar cake (thank you, Megan!), Guitar Hero go-rounds (thank you, Gramma, for holding on to the PS2 and the rockin’ game!), and a full house of family fun (thank you, Covid, for putting the kibosh on celebrating at a potentially more party-like venue).

Check out more shots of us rocking the house in honor of Jim’s 60th in the aptly named PawDad’s Rockin’ Birthday album of my Brag Book.
