A Mellow Brick Road...: Daddy's Surprise Birthday Party

Mommy decided since both Mommy and Daddy work on Daddy's birthday, we better celebrate Sunday, and Grandmoo and GiGi called to make plans because they wanted to give Daddy his presents as well. So, what initially was planned as a present exchange, developed into a little suprise birthday party for Daddy. Bodhi, you were the one with the bright idea. Mommy had told you when we were painting and coloring cards, that we had to keep it a secret, because they were for Daddy's birthday. Mommy told you we were going to surprise Daddy, and well you got all excited and said, "ooooh so we hide and yell surprise?" Mommy then decided that we'd tell GiGi and Grandmoo not to tell Daddy they were coming over for cupcakes and pizza, but we'd surprise him :)

Just as Mommy anticipated, by the time evening rolled around, Daddy after grading papers all morning, was more than ready to get out of the house. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, an hour before GiGi and Grandmoo and Gi-Pa were to arrive. Mommy made Daddy go to the car, and you two hung up your signs, pictures, and cards, so everything would be decorated by the time everyone arrived, including us. So we took an early evening country ride, stopping to talk to the cows and horses a long side the road :) and then we headed back five minutes after 5pm :)

Bodhi, you didn't nap today, and you actually fell asleep in the car. So when we finally made it home, you were as cranky as all get out. You cried and screamed, despite it being time to go in the house and yell "surprise" as Daddy walked through the door :( You instead ran crying to Daddy and came in the house with Daddy. So, this party completely planned around you wanting to surprise Daddy, didn't pan out as planned. Buddha, you happily jumped out and yelled "surprise," but you were a bit confused as to why your sister was crying ha/ha Dang sissy! Bodhi, you went upstairs to take a nap, but when GiGi went to check on you a few minutes later, you were naked, sitting on your potty, watching tv ha/ha You came downstairs, a new and happy Bodhi. Anyway, we all ate cupcakes, pizza, and Daddy opened his presents and read your guy's cards. Daddy seemed to enjoy himself, as did you two! Happy (early) Birthday Daddy! We love you!
