Surprise...Happy 50th!

I just wanted to wish my uncle Emil Atienza a Happy 50th Birthday! Last month his wife, Vita, and two daughters, Terri and Rochelle pulled off a great surprise party. With the help of some of their close friends and family, Emil had no idea that the party was for him. The reception at the Holiday Inn at Skokie was a beautiful scene with all his family and friends to honor him. His sisters, Marilyn and Vergie (with her husband), flew in from California just to be there. Everything from the party favors( which were little pots of mini chocolate golf balls) to the center piece (which was a golf putting hole) was thoughtfully orchestrated. It was a terrific night of fun and dancing!
I don't know of anyone more deserving of a great party than him. He is such a wonderful person with a huge and generous heart that is was so easy for everyone to celebrate this milestone in his life with him. Thank you Kuya Emil for all that you do!

Golf anyone?
