Shane's Big 30 Surprise Party!

So since July I have been trying and trying to figure out what to get Shane for his birthday. I swear men are the hardest people in the world to shop for. I also wanted to give Shane an awesome birthday because last year I had my apendix out just a few days before his birthday and I wasn't able to get him all his present...and I laid on the couch all day. So it was the middle of August when we had a nice TV come into the pawn shop...BINGO!!! I put it on layaway and he was done shopping for. Well two weeks before his birthday I decided it would be fun to throw him a surprise party....it wasn't until the Tuesday before I decided that I wanted to do...that I had actually decided on when to do it. So I called and text all of our friends and BINGO!!! And everyone came!!! Thanks to every one that came!
Shane was totally surprised too! I picked him up from work that night and took him to dinner. I told him that we had to be home at 8 so I could watch dateline.....I couldn't think of anything else to tell him....so we hurried through dinner and booked it home! When we got home I made sure that he went it first. Every one was sitting so quietly in our living room, with the lights off. When Shane walked in he was calling for the cat "Snickers, Snickers?" and then the lights came on, and everyone popped their poppers and yelled SURPRISE!!!! It kinda scared me and I was expecting it! Shane was speechless!
So I decided to go little kid style and buy a pinata. Can I just say how much fun those things are even if you are an adult! We all were laughing and having so much fun! Above is Shane taking the first swing!

Little Ella was so cute! She wanted to do it all by herself. Hanna tried to help her but she refused! and she did really really good!
Finally the pinata was hit open and notice who is the one grabbing the most candy! THAYNE and DANE!!! Not the little kids!
Shane in all his 30 years of glory, opening his birthday presents! You can kinda see his new TV?
On his actual birthday (September 21st) I made him sloppy joes for dinner and we made some cookie dough....and ate it...and thus ends Shane's Birthday celebration! I love him so much and i hope he had an awesome birthday!!!

Until next time
