Todd's 40th Birthday Party


He was surprised, all right...I can't believe we pulled it off. My mom did a lot of the work in preparing for the party, since I couldn't really be cooking things in front of Todd, etc. Thanks, mom! The greatest thing about the party was when Stacie (Todd's sister) showed up with "the cousins." They live in California, and he didn't think he'd be seeing them for a few days more, so it was a GREAT thing when she and the kids casually walked over and said "Happy Birthday." Archer had fun with kids of friends that he doesn't see very often. He was very excited about being in on the surprise when he found out about it (that afternoon), and immediately made himself very busy creating a card for his dad and running around with our friend Lynne and her daughter Sofia buying last minute ice, etc. Thanks, Lynne, for employing Archer and convincing me to throw a party for Todd in the first place! Thanks, Stacy, for picking up the cakes! Thanks Stacie, for lugging three kids to Minnesota four days early! Thanks Everyone who showed up to make Todd's 40th memorable!
