Here it is!

The long-ago promised post (with pictures!) from my surprise birthday/graduation party. It seems like SO long ago, even though it's only been just over 3 weeks!

Waiting for me to get there . . . . .

SURPRISE!!!!!

I was so shocked - I started crying!!

My Grandma, who came from 7 hours away!

The gift table with pictures, scrapbook pages to sign and the beautiful bouquet of flowers from Elizabeth!

The beautiful cake - all of my favorite colors!

Our friends from Shawano:
Hannah, Nora, Mrs. R, Rebekah, Rachel, Sam & Katie

Nate, Zack & Dad

Mipps, Mr. Batiansila & Dad (they went to high school together)

Great-Grandma Hammond, me & Aunt Val, who live six hours away! They were at the party for about 4 hours, then left to drive home that night!

Cuties - Elsie, Sarah, Emmy & Kate

Aunt Kari & Mrs. B

The pool table was quite popular!

Megan, Amy & Allison

Rachel & Sarah

Aunt Jana & Jacob

Jake was quite popular!

Grandpa Klahn & Jake

Grandma Klahn & her friend, Tricia, got the two babies!
(this is my favorite picture!)

We had a square dance from 2-4:30pm, which I didn't find out about until my favorite caller, Bob Asp, walked in! I started crying all over again!

Noah & Bob Asp - two of the greatest callers around!

Dancing

Dancing

Still dancing

Whaddya know? Still dancing!

It was the ultimate party - lots of fun, fellowship and . . . . . DANCING!!!

Oh, how fun! That's amazing that your family could pull it off without you even suspecting anything!
