I managed to help coordinate a surprise 30th Birthday for my wife. I had a ton of help from her best friend (since birth) Katie, and he Parents Debbie and Andy. So if you guys are reading this, THANK YOU, as I didn’t do much at all except play dumb (and really, how hard is that for me). Katie mentioned something to me a few months back about doing “something big” for Nikki’s 30th. Nikki had been hinting forever that she’d like a surprise party at some point in here life… I’ve heard that since I’ve know her. When Katie mentioned this to me, I immediately though of doing a surprise. So I email Debbie and she had a ton of great ideas. We agree that the Saturday after thanksgiving would work well to trick Nikki. Her actually birthday is November 28th (and she called me to fix this… I wrote 30th because she turned 30, I know when it really is…), so I let her believe that the party was the next weekend. Nikki’s mom planned a turkey dinner at their house the Saturday after thanksgiving (we normally go over for turkey sandwiches anyway). So Nikki bought that and off we went. She had no clue anything was up until she saw a few cars in the driveway, and even then she just thought there were a few people over for dinner.

It still looks like a bow!!! Nikki after opening an interesting/adorable gift.

Well with a bit of work we all managed to pull it off. She got a ton of great presents and everyone had a great time. We also threw in Aunt Pat’s Bday (December 6th) and Uncle Russell’s (same day as Nikki). If you look at the cakes, there is one for Nikki with the big 3-0 and one for Pat and Russell with 117 on it. I’ll let you figure that one out.

THANKS AGAIN Debbie, Andy, and Katie!!!
