We managed to pull off a surprise Birthday Party for Tony tonight! It was awesome! He had no clue! The kids wanted to get together before we leave for the coast but we have been so busy all week with work , packing, getting our yard ready for our absence and the arrival of my folks that I had to recruit the help of Mom Norton and Deedra.
I told Tony that his mother had invited us over for dinner so they could visit with my parents before we left in the morning. We were to be there at 5:30 and Deedra coordinated with all the kids to arrive at 6:00. We were to be visiting out on the patio and they would all come out and surprise him! We had some touch and go for a bit (because you all know when Tony wants to eat...Tony wants to eat! NOW) We held him at bay without him becoming suspicious and he was definitely surprised!
It was a fun evening ! We wish all of you kids could have been here but we appreciate your calls and well wishes! Tony thanks you all for the digital picture frame! (and so do I....I love it !!)Can't wait to put the seaside vacation on it !!
We leave in the morning so I will have to give up the blogging for a whole week!! Hope I don't have withdrawals!

Yay - Happy Birthday Dad! Love that pic w/ Katie and Nikki helping to blow out the candles. Very cute.
ummm did Art break his arm recently? I thought his LEG was broken.....poor guy. Happy b-day to Tony. Those frames are lots o fun.
I love surprises so I had fun helping mom pull this off for Dad. Wish more could've made it to the party but that's life. It was a great time!
Once again, happy birthday to Dad!
Heather, yes Grandpa did break his arm the day before the party... I think age is catching up with him.
For those who don't know who the tall blonde in the pic is, that is my life time friend, Whitney. So obviously she knows Dad and so I invited her to join us to get more people there.
