Oh what a night! After months of planning and sneaking around I was able to pull off a 70's themed Surprise 40th birthday for Bill. Thanks to help from friends and family it went off without a hitch! And now, I need a vacation ;-) Or, maybe just a spa day!
The plan for the night was for Bill and I to go out to a birthday dinner with dear friends Katy and Trey. We even had our friend and babysitter come over to watch Spencer to make Bill think it was like any other evening.
I was for sure Bill was on to me as for the week leading up to our dinner plans he kept asking me about his "party". "Where's the party?" "Who's coming to the party?" "What time is the party?" each time he would ask me, I would cringe inside and simply answer with a straight face, "there is no party!" These little comments went on even up to the point we left the house to go to dinner so needless to say my nerves were shot even before we got to dinner.
While we were at dinner LB and Danny and Dad and Cheryl transformed our home into a 70's disco with the decorations I had been stockpiling and hiding for weeks. Before long, our guests started to arrive dressed in their 70's attire and boy did they all look amazing! Seymour the blackjack dealer also started to provide what turned into hours of entertainment. He was a hit!
We enjoyed a great dinner and stalled with an extra round of drinks which ended up making us 45 minutes late! Woops ;-) But as you can see by the pictures below, those 45 minutes made no difference and Bill was so surprised and the party was a blast! Thanks to all our friends who came out to celebrate with us! What a awesome night.
Happy 4oth Bill! I love you and hope you had as much fun that night as I had planning the party for you.
