Randall's 27 Birthday!

So I know that this post is almost a month behind but now that I am getting around to it...there will be lots to see. I think that I have outdone myself as far as the decorations and party went. It was bigger and better than the Shrek party last year when we were visiting and so much has happened since then. Hopefully we are all a little wiser and learned a little bit more. I had been planning this party for about a month now and figured out the perfect gift for Randall. He lost his wedding ring about 4 or 5 monthes ago, so a few weeks after we got here. I think that one of the kids carted if off...but I guess we'll never know since I have literally turned the house upside down (sorry mom) numerous times looking for it. I finally gave up and decided that it was the perfect gift for his birthday. I knew we were kind of on a budget since he started his job and so to find the perfect one was a little hard but I was up to the challenge, as was the sales lady at the jewelry store. I led him on about what I might be getting him for about six weeks and if you know Randall at all, surprises drive him crazy. He guessed every day and I waited until two days before his birthday to go get it so he wouldn't go looking for it. I went to Walgreens the day of his birthday and wanted him to have lots of little useless things so he would be a little disappointed when it came to my birthday. I bought a handheld Yahtzee game and two of those freezer cups. I wrapped one and put the other in an empty wipes box with the ring box inside it. It was classic...he opened it up and thoroughly confused as he went on...the ring was on a tiny foam finger key chain inside the other freezer cup. He loved it and it was the perfect surprise. I now know that even though it was the perfect party complete with sports themed music and decorations, I don't know how I am going to top it for next year! I love ya babe, can't wait for the next 50 birthdays!
