Surprise!



Pictures, pictures, and more pictures! Yesterday, I threw a surprise birthday party for Mikey.  His actual birthday is on Wednesday.  We had lots of fun and he was very surprised!  We boiled crawfish, had Conecuh sausage, pasta salad, a garden salad, watermelon, fruit salad, brocolli salad, chex mix, chips and dip, french bread, dirty rice, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else! 



Here he is walking in...two of his friends, Mike and Jeremy took him to lunch while I got the surprise ready and guests arrived.  He is holding a basket of peanuts he took home with him from the restaraunt... guess they were really good peanuts!

Last night, Grady went to stay overnight at his Grandma's house!  That's the first time I have let him stay away from home, and I have to say, it was nice to not have to worry about him while we were enjoying our company.  And he did just fine.  :)  We didn't pick him up until about 3 o'clock this afternoon.  Thanks Elaine! 

And happy birthday, Mikey!
