My Dad's Big Day

My dad received a wonderful award at work yesterday. Not only was the award a surprise to him but having all of his family there (minus Nate) was a surprise also. It's called the Fire Starter Award and the award "is given at the Leadership Development Institute to recognize one outstanding leader who is using evidence based leadership principles to make a difference in the work area and for the organization. "

Dad was the first one to win the award and not only do I consider this a big honor for him, I agree that he is very deserving of it, and I am VERY proud of him. He's been at this job since I was a baby and has worked his way all the way up the ranks over the years. He's always been a very hard worker and because of this, has always provided for his family and has been a great role model for us on what a hard worker is. I love you Dad, thanks for all you do!!

Family picture at the Ambiance after receiving the award.
Picture is very dark but this is when he came up for the award and turned and saw us all standing there.

Somehow this is the smallest picture ever, but this is when he was receiving his award.
