Chris and Alice In Wonderland Amanda,(my all grown up and going away to college soon daughter)planned a surprise party for me on Friday night for my birthday.
I was honestly surprised, I had NO IDEA! Chris and I went to coffee and played a mean game of Scrabble ( totally kicked his butt) and while we were gone Amanda got the whole thing set up!
When I walked in the door everyone yelled “surprise!” I was really surprised, it was awesome.
Daddy Geek Boy joined us and so did Coach Dadand his charming girlfriend (and his gaggle of lovely children who violated my guinea pigs in forty five different ways).
I hung with my besties by the fire…
…and my son graced me with his presence.
He didn’t really have a choice.
Some of my other besties got all dolled up for the occasion. Aren’t they cute with their make-up all fancy?
My childhood friends were there… and so were some new friends. Look at the little baby in her tummy getting his or her party on.
A good time was had, and Chris wore his I ‘heart’ Mariah T-shirt.
P.S. They wern’t really carrying those signs, but they might as well have been I have never felt so much love. I am truly blessed to have such amazing family and friends! And Chris you did an amazing job planning all this behind my back. I’ll thank you privately.
