Surprise Party......

So..I have been planning for months now a surprise party for Tyler's 30th Birthday ( July 12 is his acutal birthday) and for his College Graduation, I decided to combine them and do a big party in May. I don't think I realized how hard it would be to get it ready dealing with 3 children and one being a 2 month old! Friday was insane! However I think I managed to pull it off! Tyler was completely surprised! I told him we were going to Mulligans with my whole family. So the only car parked in the driveway was Luke and Fernanda's, and everyone else parked down the street! Some people arrived at the party right as we did, so they were trying to hide behind a tree as we pulled up, luckily Tyler saw people but didn't recognize them.....the look on his face, was just what I wanted total surprise!

I made this congrats and Happy Birthday Banner

This is Tyler's awesome cake that Tyler's mom got and her neighbor made it for us! I LOVED it, and felt like it completed the party!

If you can't tell what that is on the left side, it is a graduation cap and then of course a Braves cake! The cake itself was delicious as well very moist and yummy!

Blowing out the candles!

I was super tired during the party so I am so mad I didn't take any pictures of the tables or of all the people there! We had the ping pong table set up and a bing bag game, and the kids were having a blast on the swing set. Thanks to my parents for letting me use thier house, my mom for all of her help on Friday, Kay for the cake and vinyl, Beth for the muddy buddies and Johnny for the heavy lifting! :) Couldn't have done it without you guys!

Tyler openingup some presents! He got spoiled from everyone! Thanks to all of you!

I made him wear these pins all night and he was a good sport about it! :)

I made a game of " How well do you know Tyler" it was a lot of fun! His mom got 1st place, and his Dad, Megan and Matt all tied for 2nd so they had to pick a number. Larry won! I was glad I did the game, I think it was fun and connected everyone at the party for a bit!

This was a last minute idea but I thought it would be fun to have everyone sign this poster board like a big birthday card! I was so sick to my stomach all day hoping I could pull it off, hoping he didn't have a clue and I don't think he did, so all the worry was worth it! :)
