The Birthday Surprise!

I couldn’t believe it when all the horns were honking at me… No, I’m serious. I got out of the car at the park and a lot of horns were honking, then people started yelling at me. I had no clue this was going to happen at all.

All Erin and I were going to do was go to the park with the Dorton’s for a picnic. It was a little chilly so far, but the sun was shining and I was excited to see my friends and have a good time at the park.

When we turned the corner to go to the park I noticed that there were a lot of cars at the park, but there were only a couple people walking around at the park. I made a small mental note that it was odd that there were cars there, but then wrote it off when I decided that one of the people across the street was having a party at their home and their friends parked their cars at the park. Besides, it was a little cold outside… Who in their right minds would be at the park, besides us, anyway?

That’s when it happened. I parked the car and started getting out and was about to help get the kids out when all the cars that were parked there started honking and then people started yelling, “Surprise!” I could not believe it. It had not crossed my mind that there would be a party for my birthday!

Erin did an awesome job with the party. Not only did she keep it a secret, but she was able to get a lot of people involved. The picture associated with this post has most of the people that were there, but we are missing several people. I was impressed at how many people were able to make it to the party. It was amazing and I had the best time whooping some butt at volley ball. Okay… I was a little rusty, but I had a great time. My kids loved it too! It also turned out to be a nice, warm day as well

Thank you to all who were able to make it. I miss and love all of you!
