suprise!


Orum turned 30 on Saturday, and I actually pulled off a surprise party! It was supposed to be "top secret" but I allowed a certain 5 year old to overhear me inviting people! I stressed to her the importance of keeping the secret--she had to keep it for 5 days!

Within the first 10 seconds of seeing Renee, after she heard of the party Orum told Renee that he could tell she was keeping a secret! Luckily, she didn't tell, and I somehow convinced him that it was about his present.

The plan was for him to go sailing in the morning {sailing lessons were his present} and then come home to a party. Well, the lesson got cut short so there was a lot of deception involved to pull it off, but it worked-thanks to Lora who helped me work frantically on the banner, kept my kids, and washed my dishes! He was definitely surprised! Now I just need to stay away from the cupcakes! Amanda really should have taken them home with her...I didn't realize that homemade cupcakes were SOO good!
