Surprise Party report: So we did surprise her. It took a little doing...there was a lock down at the Jr. High and track practice ended up being canceled...but with help from a couple of parents and Megan still processing what went on at school, she didn't catch on. (I told her I was counting on her being blond to get me through this one!)

Instead of take-out I made our dinner. It was so good! We had lettuce wraps, potstickers, yakisoba noodles with chicken and veggies, and fortune cookies for dinner. Chocolate birthday cake and ice cream for dessert. Jeanette stayed and helped with dinner and a couple of games.

Becca came up with a very creative game of Jeopardy called Megan's Golden Jeopardy! Rachel helped her with it and the girls had fun playing it.

We turned the living room into sleeping quarters and the girls watched Nancy Drew. Jeff and I went to bed at around 10:30, the girls lasted till about 12:30, according to Megan. The next morning we had apple strudel french toast and it was time to get ready to go home.

What a great group to help Megan celebrate her 13th birthday!
