Super Bowl Surprise

And if the book weren't enough, I had to go and plan a surprise party. I know, I really went over the top this year. I planned for all our "framily" to come for a little super bowl party. JD thought it was just a few families--boy, was he wrong! 60+ came out for the festivities. I told you--some people love my man!

I really can't believe I pulled it off, but then he reminded me of his surprise party in 8th grade. He had a girl come up to him after school and said "see you at your party tonight." And he still was surprised. Never even connected in his brain. Poor thing. But his cluelessness worked to my advantage!

Thanks to all our peeps for coming out and making this birthday super great for JD this year! I could not have done it without your help and encouragement! You guys are the BEST!

Thanks to the Host Home and to Tracy for taking the pictures! Awesome job!

Surprise!

And it was only appropriate to be Cowboy themed...after all, they are America's team.

Our Growing Family

Our "framily" in the Southeast

The Host Home has a fantastic backyard! The kids had a blast playing.  

After the sun went down and the game came on, everyone was back inside. It warms my heart how the kids gravitate toward him. He truly is the "kid whisperer".


It was an absolutely perfect evening!

Looks like fun was had by all. You did a great job getting it all together. I think your John is a great guy,too. (We refer to him as "your" John because we have one, too)
