I guess the surprise is on me

My Sunday started with a nice mountain bike ride down Terry Hershey Park to scoop out the new Yetti Cross course for Brad's first race on Wednesday. We needed a relaxing day after celebrating my 30th birthday this week. After all, I'm old now. Afterwards, we jetted to the grocery store since we had nothing left in the fridge. You see, we had a birthday party to participate in later in the day and knew we wouldn't be able to do our normal Sunday evening shopping. Our good friend Maxx was getting older and we needed to make sure he knew it in the best way possible....celebration!! With Maxx's present in tow we headed to his house. 




We arrive to the party. There was a bit of confusion....




Wait a minute, you guys aren't friends with Maxx...




Some tears and finger pointing accusations....




Cupcakes found their way into the mix....




Fake presents were opened...




Bubble wrap became a crowd pleaser....




We had a few drinks....




Which lead to some rocking out...




Brad had a little too much fun and fell onto his knee...




A bit more tears came out....




Advice was promptly given....




Then everyone smiled and said cheese.




I guess the surprise was on me. Thank you to Terry and Nancy for capturing all the photos of our special day.

I'm so glad we were able to be there for the special 30th surprise birthday and engagement. I will always cherish the memories. It sure was hard keeping it a secret for months. :) Love you, Mom
