An early birthday party! You see my birthday isn't for 3 weeks and my sneaky, little friends really surprised me.
Katie was the organizer and she had flowers, balloons and cupcakes from RJ Goodies adorning the table and my chair when I arrived at Lupe Tortilla with Lisha, the other planner. Waiting for me, besides Kaite, was Amada, Danielle, Kelsey and Vivian.
So, this is not the best picture of me, but... you can see how surprised I look and how happy Lisha is that she surprised me.
I don't know the lady with the daquiris, but it would have been a nice surprise if they'd been for us!
My lovely friends waiting for me.

What an absolutely fabulous evening.
In fact, I think we overstayed our welcome at the restaurant because a waiter came by long after we had paid our checks and asked if we had parked in front of the Urgent Care next door, saying they had called complaining about cars.
Ok, so maybe they called, but I thought it was pretty clear they wanted our table on a busy Friday night! :)
I felt so special that night (and still do!) to have friends that love me so much to throw me a party and a surprise one at that. They even threw in a generous gift certificate to a spa near my home!
I have only been surprised one other time and it wasn't a party. And it wasn't all that fun. My friends in high school kidnapped me the morning of my birthday. I was dressed like a crazy person and they made me wear a sign that said, "It's my birthday. Ask me to sing 'I'm a Little Teapot.'" And I sang that song way too many times!
Love to all my friends who were able to come and those who were not.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
(And love all the hubbies who gave up their evenings to watch kids!)
Love,
Michelle
