Surprise, Surprise!!

Well, we pulled off the surprise! Matt thought we were meeting Hank and Leslie for a birthday dinner (thanks for the help guys!), but when we arrived, there was a table for 20 set up with some of our closest friends. Balloons, cheers and hugs greeted Matt as he walked in and we had a great night celebrating.

We had lots of delicious appetizers and more shots than Matt would have liked (on the house, thanks to a management mix-up...ugh!). Dinner was delicious and it was great catching up with everybody.

The staff came out clapping and singing Happy Birthday to the Old Guy and the red velvet cake was delicious!

Matt opened some hilarious gifts...gift card to Sports Authority to buy Shape-Ups, a Joann's gift card to buy hair bow accessories and some "adult" gifts from Spencers. I especially loved the blow up headband that he so proudly wore!
Then it was on to Killarney's for more drinks, great music and tons of laughs. Thanks Tim and Jane for the first drink, a Blue Condom. Not sure what was in it, but it sure made Matt cringe!
Leslie recommended this yummy drink for all of the ladies... a French Kiss. Pretty yummy!
I learned so many drink names tonight, some worth having again and others I would like to forget.
Matt was a good sport and handled the abuse well. Luckily he was able to drink quite a bit of water and make a few "special" trips to the bathroom. We had so much fun singing and dancing to the 80's band and the people watching was fantastic! Thank you to all of our friends who joined us to make this one memorable night for the birthday boy!
Happy 40th to you!!
