Surprise!

Thanksgiving day was pretty uneventful; my family just had our annual Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's church members. The food was good, but the turkey...not so much. The lady in charge of making the turkey this year apparently didn't think about making stuffing and gravy, so it was very very bland, and as my nephew Jason would say, "blah".

Friday I ran a bunch of errands with Mike and Cora with Jocelyn, and made Trung stay home with the baby. Little did he know that I was buying food and what not for his surprise birthday party that night. Poor guy didn't think I had planned anything at all for his big 3-0, just dinner on Wednesday with my family. Well, I got Mike to ask Trung to go watch that Borat movie to get him out of the house, which, of course, he immediately agreed to. So, come 6:40ish, Trung walked into Jimmy's house and was greeted with a loud "SURPRISE!"I quickly handed Lydia off to Trung , so he could get some pictures with her and her "I 'heart' Daddy" shirt.My mom made egg rolls, fried shrimp, noodles, and brought a fruit platter; I made pumpkin bread and prepared veggie and mini quiche platters; and Cora made cookies. So, we had plenty to eat...oh, and peanut butter ice cream cake for dessert. After playing a round of Guesstures with some friends, I went home to pick up Lydia, who had left earlier with my Mom, and stayed the night at Jimmy's house so that the Ly boys could have their fill of video games. Thank you to everyone who came and made this party a great success! I'll have a group picture posted just as soon as I get a hold of one.
