Best Party Ever!

I had a surprise birthday party last night and it was awesome!

Yesterday around 4:45, my brother called me and asked if I wasn't busy, would my little family like to come over for dinner? Sounded normal. Nate came home and was relaxed, if not a little happier than usual... and the only weird thing was he did most of the communicating with Christa after that. He HATES using the phone unnecessarily, but I didn't think anything of it.

When we got there, Matt was out front putting some stuff away and even casually mentioned that I should watch out for the dog poop. I got to the door and there was Christa and lovely Sophia waiting for us. I walked in, took my shoes off and turned around to a wall of "Surprise!!" I started to cry, but not scared cry.. happy cry. And I was shaking so bad that it was good when Michelle took Kai out of my arms. I hugged everyone and proceeded to have a wonderful party.

It was a little more memorable than most parties, not only because it only happened last night ( : P) but also because the power was out for the entire time! We played board games, laughed, & ate by candlelight. My awesome friends and family even had the forsite to purchase a large gift certificate for me for Coquitlam Centre!

All in all, I had the most wonderful time and was so glad to see everyone. Now I'm just waiting on those crazy pictures!

Oh - and I just found out tonight that two people I adore... and who Jericho and Kai love having over to play are going to have their very own rugrat soon!!! Congrats AC!!!! After all the experiences you've had with our kids, you've got it in the bag : )
