Retirement...and PARTY

So, after all this time......my Dad finally retired....and had a HUGE retirement party!
EPIC, best explains it....a whole weekend affair!

(I really wish we would have gotten pictures when we were all dressed up) :-(

It was a great time with so many friends and family!

 For dessert, I ended up making these yummie "Eagle" cookie/snacks that I found on Pintrest
They were way more time consuming then I had planned, but boy were they good. The tutorial I read was
not very good....and I ended up using Icing rather then White Chocolate.
 (Refrigerate after rolling in coconut)
I also used raisins for the eyes and cut a slit in the "nose" area with scissors for a better hold of the cashew. 

All and all, it was a great weekend....and I am happy to have my Dad...
permanently at home with no more deployments!
