Andrew's Surprise Party

Surprise!

With lots of help, I pulled off a surprise party for Andrew

on his Birthday, July 3.

It was a Bi-lingual Party!

His Single friends and his Spanish Speaking Friends

came together to wish him a Happy Birthday.

I was concerned about what games to play with two different

languages....it was a blast! We played "Fruit Basket Turnover"

and "The States Game" with the rolled up newspaper to

whack each other over the head with (I know...fun?...you had

to be there...trust me!)

We also enjoyed a pinata (I even attempted to hit it!)

My parents, my sister, and her 4 little ones were here for

the big blowout!

I wish I could say I actually HIT the Pinata! I attempted to hit

the pinata is the accurate description. We went out on the golf

course for the Pinata Activity. The bushes are now full

of candy...bring on the raccoons!

Here is my partner in all things party....

Nohemi!

She helped me gather the Spanish Speaking Amigos

For Andrew. Thank you, amiga!

After taking him to dinner and Fun Depot, Melvin W could

not stall Andrew any longer. He headed home to the

big surprise!

With Melvin looking on, I am posing with Beth, who does

not like pictures...she is sooooo cute!

Ryan literally licked the cake platter clean.

As always, Nohemi cleaned up the party with the help of

my sister, Jenni.

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

Thank you everyone for celebrating with him!
