Surprise...One Month Later


We threw Jay a surprise 30th Birthday party yesterday, which was about a month after his actual Birthday. AND...I'm excited to say that he was TOTALLY surprised. We did a football theme and my parents were so generous with hosting the festivities. We were so thankful to have friends and kids there to help celebrate. Here are some pics from the night. Thank you to everyone for helping pull off the surprise (especially Vince).


Best Story of the night: Vince and his friend showed up at OUR doorstep (30 minutes before the party) thinking that the party was at our house. They were shocked when Jason answered the door since they knew it was a surprise. They had brought 3 packages of hummus, 4 packages of pita bread, a bouquet of flowers, 2 bottles of Chardonnay and a watermelon to the party, but then had to pretend as though they had just stopped by while in the neighborhood with these gifts. It was hilarious and didn't even throw Jay off at all. Later we found out that Donna (Vince's mom) was hiding in our garage since Vince told her to run when he saw Jay opening the door. We all got a good laugh to hear their version of the story once we got to the actual party at my parents. We laughed for hours.


Here is a picture of their wonderful gifts. Once they left our house, Jay said, "Vince has always been so generous. But it is kinda weird he bought so much hummus. He must have been pretty drunk."


Another one of Walt's famous cakes. Isn't this one amazing. We keep telling him to get into the business. He even made goal posts. Thank you Dad! I know this one wasn't easy and it was delicious.


How cute are they? All the littles wanted to help blow out the candles.


Friends from LL




Roman wasn't in a big party mood. He lasted for just a few minutes before wanting to sleep.


Thank You Family for all the help pulling this one off. I truly couldn't have done it without you. Mom and Dad...thank you hosting this event, for all the food, preparation and the cake. AND Betty and Bob...thanks for the fun decorations, Roman's jersey and all the help.


Happy Birthday Jay! I'm glad that I pulled this one off.

HA. Oh man the Vince story is a fantastic touch to what I am sure was a fantastic party.

I was a little concerned someone purchased a Michigan shirt for little Roman. Then I realized it was Cal. I can live with that.
