The past month I've been planning a surprise 40th party for my middle sister, Lori. Her husband was the ring leader and I'm grateful for that. I've never planned a surprise party before - it's hard keeping secrets!
Lori was under the assumption she was having a birthday party for her 6 year old, Ryan, that day, so we didn't totally ambush her with a houseful of people! And the best part of the surprise was that our oldest sister, Lisa, and a good family friend, Suzanne, traveled here for the celebration. (In the photo: Lisa, me, Lori & Suzanne) Lori seemed quite surprised! And the party was fun!
My Dad & Cheryl (his long-time main squeeze) unleashed their creative genius and compiled old pictures of Lori and our family into a posterboard collage. It was really cool....and I just realized I didn't get a picture of it! Dang it!
And for the record, I hate surprises and never want a surprise party thrown for me! Got it?!

Come visit my blog before the end of the weekend so I can throw an extra chance in the drawing for you.
Enjoyed the post & picture, what a great time, Lori's reaction was perfect!!! I couldn't agree more, keeping secrets is hard, especially when you regularly talk to the person on a daily basis! lool
