Jim's President's Party - 177/365

Today was the long awaited Boardman Rotary President's Party for Jim. He was nervous all day, but Reagan helped keep in relaxed. She made him and Brinkley play watermelon fairy and ketchup man. Brinkley even got in on the fun today and was mustard man. He was wearing Jim's yellow vest! LOL! She loves that. It's like her favorite thing. Her costume is getting a bit small though. She wore it two years ago at Halloween!
Finally it was time to get ready for the party! We were a little late getting ready. Terry and Bill showed up a few minutes early, so they just hung out in the foyer until we were ready. LOL!
They just picked us up in Terri's car, but that catch was they made it into a news car. They had WKBN and Stifel signs all over the side. 
When we got there, everyone was outside waving. Jim got our of the car and yelled, "I'm HERE!" Everyone laughed. 
He was happy to have his mom and dad and my mom and dad there along with Reagan. 
They decorated the tables in sweater vests and news cards. It was so cool. They got some old media posters and trading cards right from WKBN themselves. It was awesome!
The skits were hilarious. Terry and Bill pretended to put on a news show. They were looking for Jim who they called the "least present President" because we travel so much. 
The first had Mason pretend to be our handyman and house sitter. He said he was at our house 370 days out of 365. 
Next, they had our dog sitter. She said that she watches Brinkley so much that her kids think he's their dog. LOL!
Finally, Jim's personal physician, Benjamin Dover. Who came out and presented all the good information about Jim and his Presidency. Rotary always throws a good party with some fantastic skits. They poke fun, but also show a lot of love to whom was the President. 
Jim followed up with an absolutely amazing speech. Everyone loved it. 
Jim, Reagan and I were also presented Paul Harris Fellow awards thanks to Nana and Papa. They are the highest rotary award. We are so honored and grateful!
Very nice day!
