A conversation between me and my malm describing the events of last night:
me: You know how I said last night we were going over to the Bybees to play games? It turned out to be a surprise birthday party for me!
Malm: FUN!!!!!
Malm: Did Chris know?
me: Yeah, he planned it.
Malm: Tell me how it went down.
me: Well. Chris thought I knew something or had an inkling because a few days ago I noticed a charge on the credit card for like $7 at a dollar store. I asked him what he bought and he said snacks. I had no reason not to believe him so I said okay cool. Yesterday, ALL DAY LONG, I was in the scraproom making stuff and I had been eating these mustard pretzel things and got a stomachache so I wasn't feeling so good, but I didn't want to be lame, so at 6:50 Chris woke me up from my nap and said to get ready. I really didn't want to, but I did. Chris was like, "You need to let me know if you want to go or not so I can cancel or not." I guess he would have had to spill the beans if I decided not to go. Also, he made a huge batch of crepe batter. He said he was surprised I wasn't suspicious of that, but I thought that Jenny and Chris were going to be there too, so we'd just eat crepes together, what's so suspicious about that? He also thought I knew something was up when I got dressed all cute, but I just didn't want to look like a scrub! I swear I didn't know a single thing. I guess I'm just not observant. But really, he's never done anything like this before, so why would I have reason to suspect anything? So anyways. We drove over to the Bybees and knocked on their door and when they answered there were a whole bunch of people inside and they were blowing noise thingies and wishing me happy birthday and there were streamers and a banner and lots of desserts.
Malm: Who was there?
Thanks lovey dovey and to all who came, I was totally and legitimately surprised. Ya'll are good at keeping secrets.
Malm: Who was there?
me: The Christensens, the Bybees, the Olsons, the Moncriefs, the Poelmans, and the Kuchenmeisters. (Sorry if I butchered the spelling of any of those names!)
Malm: Fun!
me: Yup it was!
Malm: Fun!
me: Yup it was!

so fun! happy belated birthday again! that chris is a keeper...what a fun way to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHey!! Okay, your blog hadn't been showing updates on my blog for whatever reason so I have LOADS to comment on!!! Here goes...
ReplyDeleteYou're having a wee boy!! SO excited (would have been equally excited if you were having a girl though). Having 2 of each myself there are many advantages to having a boy...easier nappy changes (although watch out for projectile peeing), better toys and easier sleepers (that may have just been my boys though) to name but a few. Great name and the scan photo was fantastic. In the interests of equality there are advantages to having a girl too (Ellie is horrified that I have inferred that boys are 'better')...she points out - girls have nicer clothes, you can put bows in their hair and they make less mess. Having seen her room today, I'd like to contest that last point.
Great bump pictures!
Love the home videos - such special memories and a wonderful gift from your folks.
The AC layouts are gorgeous - really vibrant and fun and I love the patchwork look.
Finally...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Nothing better than a surprise party that all goes to plan!! Hope you had a great time.
