Hollywood and Surprises

This weekend was very busy. First we kicked off the fun with a Hollywood movie themed birthday party for Jan-Michael! Of course, we dressed up like we were going to the Academy Awards. I got to re-wear my prom dress and Jan-Michael wore his dad's old suit jacket (Doesn't he look like a young James Bond?!)! Believe it or not, but I could not find white gloves in this town of mine... even at the wedding shops! Thank God for E-Bay! I worked hard gathering material from work and visiting all the discount party stores to get the best decorations! Thanks for helping Stacey! We didn't go all out like we did for Halloween, but it still looked awesome! Matt and Maggie dressed up too and we took great pictures. Who doesn't love the excuse to get glammed up?! We are going to keep all the decor and plan to have another one sometime in the future. Maybe we'll make it an annual thing =p Thanks for coming guys!

All through the week and weekend, I was bursting at the seems with a secret... a surprise party! Monday night, it finally became a reality and we threw Ellen a surprise graduation dinner! She just graduated from Penn State! Congratulations! We has it at Ruby Tuesdays, and although she was quite embarrassed and surprised, she really loved it! I had an icecream cake made in Penn State colors and found a graduate
bobblehead you could put a face picture in (so it became Ellen). She said it was the first time she had ever had a surprise party. YAY!
