My Birthday Surprise |
I must preface this blog entry by saying that Rob Fipps and Jamin Jantz must be the BEST husbands ever!!! A month ago, Jamin (the husband of one of my dearest friends, Melissa), contacted Rob and they put together a super surprise birthday plan for me and Mel. Mel and I have birthdays that are only about a week and a half apart, so the guys went in on a plane ticket for Mel to fly up here to visit. Jamin took Mel out to eat for her birthday, and gave her a plane ticket - she was in shock when she realized that it was a ticket to come to Wisconsin for the weekend. Then, they still didn't tell me...Rob told me that I was needed to go pick up our camp director's wife from the airport. I went to Green Bay, and waited for Terry's flight to come in. Now, it would have been really cool if Mel had walked into the baggage claim like the guys had planned, but unfortunately, she got stuck in Chicago for the night!!! Rob called me and told me on the phone that I was really going to pick up Mel, but that I would have to go back in the morning to get her. Well, her flight finally came in early Friday morning, so we had all weekend to spend together!! It was so great having her here to see where I live, etc. She left on Monday afternoon. We had so much fun just hanging out, and she helped me a ton with Maggie's birthday party. It was so great to have one of my best friends up here for my birthday. Thank you so much Jamin for cooking up this plan, and to Rob for being a co-conspirator in this super-wonderful birthday surprise!!! Definitely one of the best birthdays ever!!! |

Maggie's Princess Birthday Party |
The guests: Caileigh Wood, Madeline, Emma Belford, and Andrew Belford Maggie enjoying her much requested Princess Cake. She kept begging me for one, so I found a picture on the internet, and tried to copy it! Rob in Andrew's Knight Outfit...Rob tried to make our "boy" guest feel at home by taking him outside to ride on the four-wheeler with him!! Enjoying our "tea party." All the girls got a "makeover." Playing "Pass the Slipper." Our crafts were foam crowns that the kids decorated. One cute story that I just can't leave out...I had a friend visiting (Melissa Jantz) who was sleeping on the couch. She said that when it was still dark Saturday morning, she heard Maggie come out of her room, and in the darkness she heard her little voice say, "It's a dream come true. It really is a princess party!!!" Maggie then got back in bed and went back to sleep until the sun came out...We had decorated after Maggie went to bed, so she was so shocked when she woke up to a totally princess dining room!!! |
