Happy Birthday, Eric!!!


Happy Birthday, Eric!!!! I decided to put together an impromptu surprise party for Eric featuring his favorite things*; a good polish dog, friends and basketball! On one of our first dates, I asked Eric if he could have any meal cooked for him, what it would be and he replied, " a hot dog." When I reiterated, any meal, he replied, "a really good hot dog?!"
*family is also in his top favorite things

Eric had promised that he would be home by 5...at which point, I was going to send him on a semi-made up task...but, when he showed up around 6 with a few of our guests already in our living room, hiding... he sort of caught on and when he got back, we were all socializing and didn't really notice him walk in until Steve saw him and Chris & Ruth yelled, "Surprise!" Miraculously, I got it on camera as I was about to take a picture of them.

I have been obsessed with this Mexican brand of non-alcoholic Sangria flavored soda!

Beth (holding Lia) is eight and a half months pregnant, Julie and April (holding Kiri)...to all those who doubted that I really had twins...see, they're real!
Cute Broden! Max had the exact same outfit when he was little! He, Ben and his older brother Ethan were all matching! So cute!






Max helped me pick Eric's present out...of course, he thought Eric would enjoy it more if Max had a matching one...funny kid!!! Eric also got theater seating for our basement! Happy birthday, Eric...here's to hoping that you can spend every birthday surrounded by family & loved ones, friends, hot dogs and get to play some basketball!!!

Happy Birthday, Eric! It looks like a fun party. And I'd say Max was right - they look happy together in their sweatshirts!
