Can you believe this man is 60?! Happy Birthday Dad!
See how cramped we were? But it was fun!
Opening presents
So last Saturday after we got home from Youth conference we went to a birthday party for little T, who turned a year old. Addie was so ready for a nap, so we left a little early, but I had to go to the store for to buy stuff for the surprise party that was to be at my house the next day. We got home from the store, (Addie fell asleep on the way home) and changed and headed out to my cousin's wedding reception. We came home and crashed, then woke up early for church.After it was done we rushed home and started to prepare for the party! The original intent was that the party was to be done outdoors since my house is TEENY! But wouldn't you know that since it hadn't rained in a month it decided to rain that afternoon?! Yep, a downpour after we had set out the tables. So we quickly started to improvise. Jarom moved the coffee table into the guest bedroom and we set up two tables in our living room and one out under the carport.
We get it all decorated and everyone arrives. Let it be known, birthday's are a HUGE deal in our family! The birthday boy or girl gets whatever he/she wants on their birthday and if anyone contests, all that has to be said is "It's my birthday" in the singsong voice and it's done immediately! You are totally spoiled pootless on your birthday and we wouldn't have it any other way!
We had told Dad that Jarom was "at church in meetings" so we couldn't celebrate Dad's birthday that night, so then I call Dad, telling him I had been bit by a spider and had caught it in a jar so he needed to come check it out. Dad was in a very ill mood since he thought everyone was ignoring him on his 60th birthday and he told me he'd come over a little later, that he was working out!!! HAHAHA!!! Crud! So I call Mom and tell her she has to light a fire under him.
So over 20 people are shoved in my living room and we are standing by the front door when Dad changes course and heads to the back door... He opens the door to be surprised by my cousins boyfriends who had been in the back...lol! He really didn't expect it and had grumbled all day about nobody caring and everyone doing their own thing on his birthday. He was super mad at Jarom "well he doesn't even like meetings but he HAS to go to them on my birthday!" Hehehe. He really didn't have a clue and showed up at my house in gym short and a tee with 2 pairs of glasses and a flashlight to inspect the spider! Mom had packed him spare clothes and had told him "Beth can't believe you aren't more concerned about her spider bite!!!" to get him hurried.
Scott and Addie...someone needs to wipe that child's face.... :)
We had a great time, Bob grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for us all and then we opened gifts, had cookie cake and cupcakes, did the Limbo, and finished it off with some crazy dancing. A fun night!
I think Jarom won the Limbo contest... unless you count little Jared! :)
Dad's pretty flexible!
Aunt Margaret is too!

How fun to have a surprise party! I always feel so bad when ever I've tried doing that for someone...I know it'll be fun in the end, but I hate the part where they feel crappy.....I'm wierd. I love all of your pics, as usual. They really look great. Glad you all had fun!
