Surprise!

Brian's Birthday was truly as surprise for him.

Brooke's birthday was on the 13th of June and I have been trying for 2 weeks to put a birthday party together for her. Then I though why not combine it with Brian's birthday and just do a fun party with everyone. I knew Brian was under so much stress he didn't know what month it was and so I just told him we were doing a birthday party for Brooke on Saturday (the 4th of July). He said o.k. Still not know what day Saturday was.

Saturday came and we prepared everything for the party. I was having real guilt trips as Brian was out cleaning the yard on his birthday. But he didn't know it was his birthday.

As our guest arrived, some of them were Brooke's friends and their families however some of them were Brian co-workers and his friends. He was confused and then we told him, Happy Birthday! It is your Birthday today.

My poor over worked husband.

We had a really enjoyable time at our party talking with friends. I find that, Honestly, being with friends is the most enjoyable place I can be. I think we would invite friends over for parties at our house every weekend, if I could handle the stress of all of it.

After the party we had the girls light some sparklers that we saved from new years. I wanted to do it during the party because we had a lot of sparklers but I forgot all about them! The girls loved it we even tried to teach them, My country 'tis of thee! Kaitlyn remembers the big fireworks from the states and ask why we cant set off our other left over fireworks from New Years. We had to explain what illegal meant.

All and all it was a good day. Hopefully a good surprise birthday for Brian!

Because of my forgetfulness I only managed to take 2 pictures during the party. 1 of Brooke opening her first gift and then I put the camera down somewhere where I couldn't find it and so there was no more pictures for the rest of the party. After the party when things were all cleaned up I found it and was able to take a picture with fireworks.
