Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Travis, Rachel, Me and Bruce!

Dave, Lisa, Bruce, me, Rachel and Travis. See the beautiful tulips and flowers!

Danny was to have had dinner with us. He decided to work downstairs a little more before dinner and cut himself. 3 stitches later he came back and rejoined us!

Bruce asked me where I wanted to go to dinner for my birthday. I told him I thought going to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch on Saturday was my "birthday dinner." So Bruce decided to make me dinner for my birthday! I love it when Bruce cooks! I think he is a better cook than I! Anyway, Rachel called me to wish me a "Happy Birthday" after school and I told her all the things that happened during the day. I told her that "Dad was going to make me dinner for me tonight" and that I was quite excited. I knew it had to do with cooked shrimp. When I got home, Bruce said that Danny was working downstairs and that he invited him for dinner too, which was okay with me. Dave, Bruce's brother called, and we invited Dave and Lisa over too. After the phone call, Bruce showed me all the food that he bought, which I thought was unusual. Lisa called to see if we were sure and do we have enough food and Bruce assured her we did. We were sitting and visiting with Danny and Bruce was in no hurry to start dinner, which was also unusual! All the sudden our door opens and Rachel and Travis walk in with the video going, surprising me!!!! I was shocked! I screamed! And everything else! What a surpise!! What a grand surprise!

Rachel said that Travis had come up this fabulous idea to join us for dinner for my birthday. Rachel had called Bruce, who loved the idea. At first it wasn't going to be a surprise but then Rachel and Bruce decided to not tell me and to surprise me!!! Now Rachel and Bruce could never keep a surprise!!! You could tell in their faces or in their voices or they would just "have to tell you!" This was truly a great surprise and I was completely speechless! Bruce gave me a boutique of flowers and when Dave went to pick up the pie, he saw these Tulips and thought it would go nicely. We enjoyed a yummy shrimp/chinese noodle dinner! It was fantastic!

I want to let everyone know that I HAD A SUPER DUPER BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR! Thank you to all of you for making my birthday so wonderful!!! I will ALWAYS remember this birthday! Thanks!
