Last night I thought Todd was just taking me out to dinner for my birthday, while my mom watched the boys at our house.
We went to Fuji Japanese Steak House for some tepen yaki. It was a meal and entertainment all rolled into one experience.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Until after dinner when Todd told me that my mom had arranged for us to go to some show. We supposedly had to meet my cousin and his girlfriend at our house so that we could carpool.
Huh? Okay, that’s very weird.
When we reached our house there were cars parked in our cul-de-sac. That’s nothing out of the ordinary because one of our neighbor’s house is party central. I just said, “This party better not be at our house.”
We pull into the driveway. Todd turns off the ignition. Then he hands me my keys. That was a dead giveaway. That was indicating that we were home for the night and weren’t going to this “show.”
To top that off, he actually let me walk through the door first. That’s a little unusual too.
I opened the door and screamed when I saw all the black and pink decorations, and my family and friends waiting for us to come home.
Hahaha! You guys got me! That was awesome.


I even got a few gifts!
Thanks, everyone, for making my 40th Birthday such an awesome one! Picasso was even able to keep his little secret from me for an entire day.
Thank goodness I did SOME house cleaning over the past couple of days.
