For TL's 30th... I decided to throw him a surprise party. (Funny, because I mentioned what to do for him in a post and a few of you posted to do this for him!) I'm far from a party planner. I'm hardly a good hostess. But, I decided to throw it at our new house anyways. My dad and BIL, Matt, kept him busy all day doing construction stuff while a few helpers and I got things ready. He was so surprised, I thought he may poop his pants ;)
It was fairly small (I wasn't sure how to make a guest list and keep it a secret - so I kept it small) and we were both so happy that his family was able to drive two hours to come. (Cousins Steve & Mackenzie, his brothers - Joe & Dave, and his mom). He was shocked and very touched!
The dessert table... funfetti cupcakes & brownies (both his favorite)
He was so excited to see his mom!
Not only did we surprise him - we completely scared him!
I stuck funny pictures of him and '30's into the cupcakes.
My team of party planners - BFF Jenny, Cuzo Greyson, and mom & sisters :)
Some of the gang waiting for him to walk in.
Sweet family who drove hours to be there
(Steve, Moms, Mackenzie, Joe, Dave)
He was all sweaty from doing construction work with my dad & BIL - after saying hello, he took a fast shower. This was right when he arrived :) I was so excited!
Some very intense games of 'beer pong' started! (Spectators and players above)
Me & my favorite guy - Happy 30th, TL.
My mom and 2 of her 3 SILs - Matt helped distract him all day.
btw, see TL's shirt? My aunt and uncle made it for him... it says "I'm 30... F*@% Ya!". And on the back, it says - "I love my Aunt Paula & Uncle Steve". Hilarious!
Here's a video of him walking in... it takes a few seconds to get to see him come in (they were getting beers in the garage), but it's worth the wait!
You can kind of see him go into our room, and my sister stops taping right when he came out. His hands were full and he was so shocked.
It was fun to do something like this. We had catered Mexican food (delicious) and drank wine and beer together late into the evening. It was a wonderful celebration of a great guy.
Happy 30th Birthday, TL.
Love you so much.

How exciting!! I suprised my boyfriend this year for his 28th bday. But lol I did it a month late because I figured he would be super suprise then. I know that these parties are difficult to pull off.
Wow thats a small number? Looks like a lot of people... I guess you all party big!! That is fantastic! I love the fact that you captured it on video. Looks like a fantastic party and that he had a lot of fun. (BTW my bf, kevin, would have totally jumped in the shower too lol)
Looks like a great time was had by all. Well done!
This sounds like such a successful surprise birthday party!!!
I had organized a surprise reunion for my bfs birthday in May, it was at a lounge he loves... he got suspicious because everyone kept calling me all day... so he tried to make me change the venue, and since I wouldn´t budge, he figured it was a surprise party!!! You did a much better job clearly!
BTW I love your hair.
