Todd's Birthday

Hi Everyone!

Sorry it's been awhile since I blogged. Life has been crazy! For those of you who don't know, Todd turned the Big 4-0 this week. And because he never likes to be the center of attention, we decided that it was only fitting that we throw him a little party to celebrate!

We've been planning this for some time, but with Daddy's recent situation, we downsized quite a bit. My neighbor took him to the movies to get him out of the house, and in the meantime, we all gathered at my house and decorated and cooked and hid cars and got ready to surprise him!

Here is Todd entering the house to a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday." Yes, we're THAT original!

Todd, His mom and dad, David

I think his words at this point were, "This is a lot of people!"

His brother in law, Greg; my Dad; his other brother in law, Stephen

The theme for the party was "Welcome to Your 2nd Childhood" complete with big screen TVs in every room and video game consoles. Look at the Amazing cake that Tachia made!

Then we ate, played video games, caught up with friends we haven't seen for a while, and watched the kids play kickball outside.

Just of few of the 14 kids who attended. Where did all these kids COME from?? Us???
