Surprise Party!

On Friday night Eric and I had plans to go babysit for another couple so they could have a date night. Little did I know that this was really a cover for a one-month-early surprise birthday party. I was shocked! My birthday isn't until July, but this was the perfect way to celebrate before friends go home for the summer.

We had cake, ate snacks, and played games. I realized how delicious boxed cake with canned frosting can be after you haven't had it for a while... Eric organized everything from stealing my phone to get phone numbers to texting/inviting everyone to buying all the food and delegating cake bakers, to planning the games which included pictionary and charades. (He's really the best.) Everyone had a great time - including the family's two little kids. "Foreigner" kids are adored here, so they got plenty of attention.

One highlight... Since I was planning to babysit, I came in a t-shirt and gauchos. Not so dressed up. No hair done. No makeup. Four girls saved the day though. They had bought me a dress!
