Surprise Birthday Party

Tim put together an amazing surprise Birthday Party for me after church this past Sunday.  And boy was I surprised.

To fully appreciate the story, though, you need to know that Tim had coordinated this whole ordeal starting months ago.  And even had me tricked into believing that we were going out for a nice dinner after church… AND convinced me that it would be a really good idea to deep clean the house on Saturday (in preparation for the baby coming, was his reasoning).  So we cleaned and cleaned on Saturday.  And the house was spic and span by the time we went to bed that night (although I admit I was a bit crabby after a full day of cleaning and feeling huge and moving at a snails pace, but I pushed through).

So we got up and ready for church and while I was getting ready I had flashbacks of the other surprise party that Tim threw for me years ago.  I can’t remember the exact year, but I know it was just after we were married and we hadn’t had Chloe yet.   But I vividly recall Tim suggesting that we really clean the house.  I remember it struck me as funny because he’s not normally the one to suggest we deep clean.  So on the way to church this past Sunday I joked with him about remembering the last surprise party and joking about how he had me cleaning yesterday… ha. ha. ha.

Well, needless to say, this was my reaction when I walked in the door after church…

I was thoroughly embarrassed and appreciative.     They had worked so hard to make everything just perfect–and it was gorgeous!  Look at all the amazing decorations and food!

They had an amazing music theme–and even had a candy bar!!!  They know me so well!  😉

And of course, Tim made sure there was ICE CREAM CAKE!!!

These two ladies spend hours making sure everything was perfect.  Their attention to detail was just amazing!

The party was such a huge success.  I had such a great time hanging out with so many friends and family and eating delicious food.  It was an amazing birthday!!!
