Have a look at this awesome set-up!
The theme was Mel's favorite things, so we chose lots of her favorite food to serve.
The decoration colors are her favorite - pink, yellow, red.
Emmalee's decorations covered every possible place! They were awesome!!!
Emmalee also planned some fun, fun games - about how well we know Mel. Here, we had to guess her favorite things, like lotion, movie, candle scent, etc.
I really liked this game! Pictures from Mel's growing-up years hung from balloons. Some of them were numbered, and we had to guess how old she was in each picture. (I did horribly in this game because I was usually off by one year. I think I only got 2 correct!)
We got to fill out a survey about Mel. I actually did pretty well on this one!
Stephen and Mel went to a movie, and when we saw that they were pulling in the garage, we had people crouch behind the island.
I'm not sure what she was thinking at this point,
But we all jumped out and surprised her,
and she seemed to take it all in that all of this was for her!
Surprise! Happy Birthday!
The kids loved the confetti, of course!
Way to go, girls! We did it!
Kyle wasn't too sure about everything.
But Evan picked up lots of confetti, put it in his cup, and then threw it in the air!
Eric actually got to attend one of Em's parties! Yay!
Emmalee - in her element, I think! She was awesome! :-) She gave us the answers to all the games.
Prizes were awarded.
And prizes were shared.
Then Mel opened her presents. She got some winners!
Claire seemed bored eating her Rosa's queso; I'm not sure how that's boring, though!
It was a fun party, if I do say so myself!
These two guys volunteered for dish duty! Thank you to them and to everyone else who stayed and helped clean up. That was fantastic!
Most importantly, happy birthday to Mel! I'm so so so so glad we actually surprised you! And I hope you enjoyed your party! (Who am I kidding? - I know you did!) Love you!
