Well...Nick's got another year under his belt! He's now 24 years old!
It was a last minute thing that I threw together...but I decided to throw Nick a "little surprise" party. He knew that we were coming to Mom and Dad's to celebrate his birthday...but he had NO IDEA that his family and friends would be there too! All day I was preparing...I baked TWO cakes... (because Nick requested a "Funfetti' cake...and I didn't figure everyone would want that...so I also made a strawberry cake too...), and chocolate chip cookies. I even tied balloons to the mailbox so that everyone would be able to find the house...since most hadn't been to the house. Around noontime...Nick called me and asked me what the plans were for tonight. I told him that we didn't have any plans other than going to Mom and Dad's for dessert. So, he asked me if it would be alright to have some friends over tonight to celebrate his birthday. I told him that would be fine...(*keep in mind...Nick still doesn't realize that his friends and family are going to be at Mom and Dad's waiting for him to get there...because it's a surprise! ) So, as Nick starts calling around to invite people over tonight...I go into a panic and start calling everyone to let them know that Nick still doesn't know about the surprise party and to just play along with Nick inviting them over to our new apartment. (hehe - so sneaky!) So...around 5:45pm...I am headed home. Nick made dinner...(yes, I know - I should have cooked him dinner, but he likes to cook! :-) ) After dinner, we got ready and headed out to mom and dad's. As we came pulling up to the house...Nick sees the balloons tied to the mailbox and everyone's cars parked out front...and says, "Wait a minute, what's going on here?" :-) I just look as him and smile...and then start to tear up! (Probably my hormones talking...but I was just so excited that I had succeeded at throwing this last minute surprise party!)
The night was a success and everyone had a good time! We had a great turn out and I am very thankful for those that were able to make it! :-)
