I am so impressed! We managed to pull off Sydney's 10th birthday surprise party. 11 girls keeping a secret is difficult to say the least, but considering we only had a small slip up that was very smoothly covered up :), it was a total success! Story goes like this: we planned Sydney's party for Friday, (her real birthday was on Thursday) she seemed a little disappointed that she wasn't having a friend party and was slightly bugged that there was no cake (we were, of course, saving it for the party) however, Friday came and Tom took her shopping for a new bike. All her friends showed up completely pumped up and ready for fun! They hid in the backyard, and as soon as Sydney came out the back door, I yelled (so they could hear it was time) "What color is your new bike!?! She looked at me like I was crazy, while 11 darling ten year olds came stampeding out from the side of the house yelling SURPRISE!!! She about dropped what she was holding, red face and all. The party was a success! Although it was a lot of work, it was totally worth it and just as much fun for Tom and I. Now we're into the double digits! She'll be driving and dating before we know it - crap, time goes too fast!
P.S. Thanks mom for your help!
Oh how fun!! Isn't that every girls dream that age to have a surprise party- it was mine:) I can't believe she is 10, that seems weird... I sware she was like 6 when you moved in?!
