Already?

Mr. Lester is 30 already. WHAT? REALLY? How'd that happen?

I figured that he was old and senile enough to not catch on to my secret scheming, so I successfully pulled off a little surprise party at his parents.

In actuality, he does not miss any small detail, and was wondering why the printer was on (I had used it to scan in his childhood pictures for a poster and didn't turn it off). He also wondered why there was an email from Walgreens that had Marilyn's name on it (I ordered the poster through Walgreens and had Marilyn pick it up)

He wondered why I brought so many outside clothes to Mom and Dad's on Fri (I had a bunch of groceries hidden in the bottom of the bags and plopped some outside clothes on top to hide the groceries).

He wondered why I didn't clean up the house a little more on Sunday morning since Mike and Kristina were going to hang out there in between their morning Hastings meeting and afternoon gospel meeting (when M and K were actually going to come to the lunch party so I didn't have to worry about a presentable kitchen). 

He noticed a few interesting Amazon purchases but didn't look into them (I bought him some bike shorts).

Despite all of the ponderings, he was still surprised to see a different looking car in the driveway as we pulled up, and was even more surprised to see the dining room table set up fancy with a bunch of plates.

We had a yummy lunch of Italian meat pie, tacos, chips 'n cheese, veggies, and THREE desserts: cookies, cake, and scotcheroos.

 Eyesight must go downhill at the thirty mark because he received a head lamp from both Gary and Amber as well as Travis. :-) He also received a tent light from his parents.

Thanks to everyone for your efforts to make his day a special one!! He loved every minute. :-)

*disclamer* I did not make that awesome cake. That would be my mother's creation :-)
