Suprise!!!!!!

I accomplished what I didn't think I could. For the past two weeks I have been planning a surprise graduation party for Chris. It was suppose to happen back in December but it was just to hectic with Christmas stuff. I have never really been able to surprise Chris on anything even down to birthday or Christmas gifts. So it was a mission for me to pull this off.

The to do list included email everyone invited, getting the food ordered, getting decorations, order the cake and getting everything over to Stefanie's house the day before. And of course hoping and praying no one including myself slips up and says something. On Friday, it was so far so good. Everything was completed and ready to go.

On Saturday all Chris knew was that we were going over to our friends Jeremy and Stefanie to have dinner with them and let our kids play. Everyone was already at their house ready and waiting. We pulled up and walked in......and it was a huge surprise for him. He was truly shocked. So yay for me and all involved for helping me pull this off!!!!! Chris just kept smiling and saying he had no idea. :)

We had such a fun evening(so much so that I completely forgot to take pics). I had Rib Crib cater the dinner so we had wonderful BBQ, we all sat around enjoyed are dinner and some how got on the topic of how everyone met their spouse. We had some very interesting and funny stories. Always learn something new. After dinner we dove into the cake. I order an OSU cake which I thought turn out really nice.....even though some of our guest were OU fans they were gracious enough to eat the cake. :)

After we had our tummy's full we all played a fun game of Battle of the Sexes. Good ole fashion guy vs girl competition. We had a blast trying to trip the other team up from answering their questions. But in the end the guys won the game.....but the girls came to the conclusion that this game was created by a guy because only a guy could come up with some of these questions we had. I know that I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It is definitely good for soul.

As the evening was wrapping up all of our guest signed a picture frame I had for Chris. I thought it would be a wonderful memory for him to have.

Everyone that was there has been a big part of our lives in some way. Always encouraging him as he was completing his MBA. I know we are so blessed to have each and everyone of them in our lives. I am thankful they were able to to be there with us for the celebration.
