I really thought I had him. I thought I was being so tricky and nonchalant about having an impromptu home group get-together at the park on a Thursday evening. Little did I know (due to dealing with Addison) that Hailey's prayer at dinner included, "thank you that we can have a surprise birthday for Daddy." Or the fact that he thought there is NO way our home group with all their crazy schedules could do anything spur of the moment! At least he didn't know up until 24 hours before... and I'm amazed that Hailey held the information in for the 1 hour that she did:) It was still a great little celebration, and one of these years I will REALLY surprise him.
Derek was welcomed with silly string... meant for the kids to use, but Sandy couldn't resist.
I was glad so many could make it, with summer schedules and me deciding to do it very last-minute. I just couldn't let his 40th birthday go by without some kind of celebration, despite his trying to convince me that he didn't want any big deal made about it!
Derek and Mom
The kids loved being right next to the lake and climbing over all the logs. It was a beautiful evening, thankfully!
Happy birthday, Derek! I love you!
Side note: That first picture is my second project in the photoshop class:) So fun!

That last picture of the two of you is really good! Bummer about Hailey spilling the beans... but kinda cute though!
