Surprise!

Spencer's 30th birthday was Saturday.  We were already in Chicago for a wedding the day before and decided to stay in the city for the big day.   We went out to lunch and dinner.  Stopped by IKEA.  He closed on his car loan, meaning he now official owns a vehicle! It wasn't a bad day, but it wasn't particularly special.  I held back. Didn't decorate or bake a cake.  Because the big surprise was scheduled for 7:30 pm.

After dinner out with his dad (his mom was celebrating with his twin sister in New York), we came home to a house full of people shouting 'Surprise!'  Spencer's best friends from high school, my aunt and uncle, his sister, roughly 10 people were there, all in sombrero's and fake mustaches.  It was awesome.  So much energy and excitement all for the man I love.  And he definitely appreciated it.  I saw a glimmer of a tear in his eye and he tried to register what was happening after the lights came on.

We drank, ate, played Pin the Tale on the Donkey, whacked a pinata, played Cards Against Humanity, and Spencer got so many thoughtful gifts.  Kudos to everyone who made the night amazing especially his older sister who took the party under her wing and organized nearly every detail.
