I decided a couple of months ago that I wanted to do something special for John's 30th birthday. I knew it wasn't going to be easy as we were going to have a newborn and just getting home from the hospital. I decided, though, to throw him a small surprise party. I invited our family along with a few of John's close friends. I kept it very simple since we literally got home from the hospital two days before.
I ordered a cake from Willie Mays Bakery in Plano. They have the absolute best cakes!! I had it made with lemon filling which is John's favorite and it was topped with chocolate and white chocolate strawberries. It was so good! The best part is that my mom had picked it up while John and I had taken Liam back to the hospital for a weight check. She hid it in the oven. Well, around 5ish John decided that he was going to reheat left overs to have for dinner and turned the oven on. Thank God, John's Dad heard him turning the oven on and his Mom rushed in there and turned it off. Talk about a close call!
My mom also picked up food from On the Border. I had a few party platters with appetizers. It really was such a simple party but it turned out well. John was surprised and I hope it made him feel special. I love you, John!
