Happy 40th Birthday Daddy! It is hard to believe that Greg has turned 40! He doesn't act a day over 21 :). I decided to try to plan a few surprises for Greg's 40th. A month before his birthday, I started planning a surprise birthday party. It is not easy keeping a secret from this man, so I had to get creative. With the help from our friends the Postons, we told Greg we were heading to Traton Homes for a charity event. I invited over 100 of his friends for food, drinks and dancing. I was so excited that his favorite local cover band, Brother Whitlock, was going to be able to perform. As we got closer to the date, he started to get suspicious, so we had to try to throw him off. Chris was awesome! The plan was we were going to go get a drink at the Postons before heading to the charity event for a quick appearance. We were then going to go downtown for dinner. Chris had a driver pick us up so it looked like we were really going downtown. He sent Greg silent auction items to bid on and he had nametags made up. After all of that, we threw him off enough to really surprise him. It was awesome!!
I think it is a true testament to the kind of person my husband is in that he had so many friends wanting to celebrate his big day with him. His friends from high school, Ben and Andrew, flew in from Florida and his medical school/residency friend, Mike, flew in from North Carolina. Such a special night!
The next pics are just some of the people that were there to make his day so special :)
My besties :)
Our trainer and friends BJ and Billy came :)
Such a fun night!!
I had the place decorated with pictures of Greg growing up. Thanks Noni
All Greg really wanted for his birthday was a Jeep. I tried to play it off that I couldn't buy him a jeep, so I gave him a jeep themed party. :)
As we were all gathering around the cake to sing the birthday song, Noni, Granddaddy, Jackson and Beckett arrived with Daddy's 2nd surprise.
The boys were so excited to surprise their daddy! They absolutely love the jeep!
Surprise!
I think he liked it :)
Time to sing the birthday song and blow out all those candles! So glad the boys were there to celebrate with us!!
The next day I set up a golf game for Greg and his friends. It was a little drizzly but they made it through the game! They then came home to play soccer with the boys! Whenever Greg, Andrew, and Ben get together, it is 1 competition after another. It is so crazy to see my kids now getting into the mix!
These guys have been friends forever! So glad they were able to make the trip for his big day!!
Two cuties! The festivities didn't end there! We then had all the cousins over to our house to celebrate another special man's 91st birthday!
Great Granddaddy and Peebo with all the great grandkids! The theme of the party was "91 and still not done!" Keep doing your puzzles granddaddy! It's working!!
The whole crew! So thankful we were all able to get together to celebrate such a special man. We love you Great Granddaddy!
Getting a little help from his great grandchildren! There were 91 candles on that cake!
Aunt Kiera and Courtney helped the kids make this sweet family tree with their handprints. So cute! Happy birthday Great Granddaddy! We were so happy to be able to celebrate with you! You are one of a kind and we love you!! Can't wait until our next visit!! XOXO
