He Hadn't a Clue!

Yay!!! We pulled it off. I was so concerned that I or someone else would spill the beans. But, apparently, nobody slipped because he was totally surprised! My hubby recently had a birthday and this past weekend, I threw him a surprise party. It was wonderful! So many dear friends and family members joined us to celebrate and honor my sweet husband. I guess I should use the word "honor" loosely, because we did "roast" him a little bit. But, it was rather comical and everyone seemed to get a kick out of hearing funny and embarrassing stories about him.
We had good food (thanks to my mother-in-love), good laughs and got to spend time with good friends.
I had told my hubby that we were going to dinner with some friends for his birthday. So, naturally, we had to drop Toad off at my in-law's house as they were "going to babysit him". But, when we walked in the door, a good, loud SURPRISE was yelled and poppers were popped and horns were blown. As I expected, Toad was completely startled and burst into tears, but my hubby was shocked, surprised, and happy. Most of all, he felt special and sensed that he was loved. That was my whole intention. I am so grateful to all our dear friends who were able to be there to party with us. Happy "birthday season" babe! I love you more than words.

Edited 6/12/08: If you leave a comment, please don't use my hubby's name (or Toad's real name). For privacy reasons, I will delete any comments that have either of their names. Walking in the door.
