Sixteen Candles Birthday Surprise

It was Hannah's birthday on Tuesday.  She really thought we were going to give her a surprise party then.  I wanted to do something, but she always catches me planning for her.  Well, I got one in on her!!  I went walking one morning to her friend Kimber's house and we planned a party for her.  Only we planned to do it a day early.  Hannah didn't even have a clue.

Sam and I took her out Monday to the local Taco Time just to grab dinner.  I then suggested we go bowling for FHE.  When we got to the bowling alley, there were a ton of cars in the parking lot.  I said, "I bet they have league night, we might not be able to get a lane."  So Sam said he would go and check.  He went in and then came back out and told us they had a lane we could have.  tee hee hee.

So we went in and Hannah didn't suspect anything at first until I told her to go down to the last lane.  There were all of her friends as well as a brother and 2 sisters.  They had balloons and presents and all yelled Surprise!!!  It was perfect.  She turned about 5 shades of red. 

After bowling we came back to our house and had a BBQ and Birthday cake.  The kids watched Elf (go figure.  I guess you have to be a teenager to watch this in the middle of summer) and had a good time. 

It was so fun to finally have a surprise party that she didn't figure out!!!
