Surprise!

Andrew's 30th birthday is later this month, so I surprised him with a big party at our house Friday night. I had been planning and preparing for weeks, and Friday was a busy day as I had to get everything set up before Andrew got home at 4pm. My parents and Bob & Gail were a HUGE help, and Andrew was very surprised. We had a blast with 40 people in attendance!
The party was originally supposed to be outside until a cold snap struck. So, we moved out the furniture from the living room and replaced it with tables.We taped different pictures of Andrew all over the tables.We had candles everywhere, thanks to Jen Crutchfield.People working hard on the crossword puzzle - How Well Do You Know Andrew.Very cool & yummy cake - made by Eric & Tiffany Bolton.

Harrison & Jackson were born 1 week apart last April.I barely even saw Katherine, because everyone else was passing her around. Here she is with Amber, Ellie & Jackson's mom. Katherine did very well at the party. She had slept for four hours at school that day getting ready to be able to stay up until 9:30pm.Ellie & Katherine. Trying on Andrew's hat.

For those of you that were bothered by the white next to some of the pictures...yes, I noticed...of course I did...but it didn't bother me enough to take the time to figure out why it did that and fix it.
