Mike strongly dislikes surprise parties and let everyone know it. Well I chose not to listen and threw him a small surprise party. I didn't want to push my luck so I only invited family. The boys were out golfing at our ward fundraiser so it was the perfect opportunity to get everything ready.
Here's the birthday boy!
Ok so this party was probably not meant to be because it was sunny and beautiful everyday but the day of the party so we had 20 people stuck in our living room. I was quite mad because I had all sorts of games planned that got ruined by the rain.
I'm sitting here laughing at what a lively bunch we all are :)
For Mike's birthday my mom got him a "redneck putter" and juggling balls. He was happy about both.
My sister, Heather, sent Mike an awesome care package full of candy and then some gardening gloves and this hat. Mike was SO excited!!
Austin liked the hat too so they traded.
The rain could not scare away a mean ping pong tournament.
Thankfully Marcus did not go easy on the birthday boy.
Brawny may have been locked up but that didn't keep visitors away.
My attempt at a "cute" cake.
One of our outdoor activities was a pinata which we rigged to work in the garage.
The kids were all on board but it was like pulling teeth to get Mike to do it. Once Mike went all his sisters had to have a chance too.
I learned though not to over stuff your pinata because it will not break. There was smashed candy all over our garage.
