• Surprise Party!

  So this weekend, we had a surprise party for my dad for his 50^th birthday. His birthday is actually December 31^st but we wanted to throw him off a little bit so we waited until now to have the party. We had the party at one of the Mexican restaurants in my hometown.  My sisters and I plus the Architect and T (B’s boyfriend) got there early to decorate.

  We had the guests come a little bit early so that everyone would be there when my parents arrived. We had invited about 20 people so dinner was nice and intimate. My dad’s mom came in from Colorado to surprise him so there was that as well.

   My mom had told Dad that they were going out for dinner with another couple for the husband’s birthday. That couple drove my parents to the restaurant. When they arrived, first my mom and the other wife came in and then my dad. We yelled “Surprise” when my dad came in but he still thought that it was a birthday party for the other guy so he goes back into the hall to pull the other guy inside. It was hilarious!

  My dad was absolutely shocked and surprised. He couldn’t believe that we had pulled the party off. KT, my youngest sister, put together a montage of music and pictures of my dad from when he was a baby until now. It was very cool. My dad had this big, huge grin on his face the entire night. I’m so glad that we were able to pull it off!!!
