BRANDON'S SURPRISE 25TH BIRTHDAY PARTY!!

      I have been planning this surprise party for Brandon since his birthday last year. I needed to make up for a super lame 24th birthday..... I mean I did what I could but we were broke! :) so this year, with no baby to save for... I  put all my money towards a fabulous surprise for my handsome man!! :)

     The plans kept changing due to us moving back to Indiana and all of that....so now the plan was, he would go pheasant shooting with some guys from our church and when he got home we were going to have a "church get together" at our house. That way he wouldn't be suspicious of all the vehicles. Genius right??? Even my 10 year old brother thought so....hahaha

     Brandon's sister and her husband drove in Friday night really late while Brandon was at work and we had them stay in one of the bedrooms in the basement so he wouldn't see them.....we hid their truck behind our house. :)

     Saturday morning I drug Brandon out of bed to go hunting...he didn't end up really wanting to go because he only had a few hours of sleep, I panicked slightly and told him this was a once in a blue moon deal and he would be sorry that he missed it.

So he left... and now I had to decorate!!!

 Nothing too elaborate....but I thought it all turned out cute :)

 SURPRISE!!!!!!

                                                        The Cake was soooo good!! I made a separate Ice cream cake for Brandon....then a bunch of 9x13 for everyone else. It was so simple and soooooo amazing! I got so many compliments on the cake. :) Simple is the best policy..haha

The party turned out FABULOUS and I am so thankful for all the friends and family that came and helped make it happen! It was a lot of fun planning and I can't believe we actually pulled it off with him being COMPLETELY SURPRISED!!!
