Aidan's Surprise Party

My baby is growing up so fast! Aidan turns seven tomorrow and about 2 months ago, he said he wanted a surprise party. So we gave him one today at the bowling alley. There has been no mention of a party since then so he was totally surprised!!! I couldn't wait for today to finally come because I was worried he felt neglected since we haven't even talked about a friend party. We had a great plan to "trick" him by Nate and I leaving early saying Nate had a party to go to. Then Brad and Aidan were to pick Nate up from the party at the bowling alley. We were practically the only people there, so all the kids hid under benches, chairs and around corners. When Aidan came in, all the kids jumped out and yelled "surprise". He just kind of looked at us and then said, "Hi". It took him a few seconds to realize the party was for him. It was so cute how all the kids got a kick out of the whole surprise. Everyone had a great time bowling followed by pizza, soft pretzels and cupcakes! I couldn't have asked for more well behaved guests or a more wonderful seven year old!!!
SURPRISE!!!!




The party gang!

As usual, no wish! As soon as we finish singing, he blows and forgets to make a wish every year!

Mmmmmmm
