This past Friday night (March 20th) we had a surprise 12th Birthday party for Patrick. We decided to do it a week early (his real Birthday is March 29th.) It seems his friends always leave for spring break or we're going somewhere and he doesn't get to have a "friends" party. So, this year.....we were proactive:) -

A couple friends and his cousin were to show up at our door at 3pm on Friday with their sleeping bags and pillows for the party as it was a sleepover. Patrick was sure shocked and I must say a bit like me as far as "it wasn't planned" :) - However, he soon relaxed and and Loved it. Especially after he got his gifts.

However, like I said, it was a sleepover. His friends stayed up until 4:45am.

Patrick hit the bed at 12! What a party guy he is. NOT!!!!!!!!

We finished the party off with pancakes and bacon in the morning.....a few more times around playing Guitar Hero....... and then sent everyone on their way.

Happy Birthday, Patrick.

We LOVE You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
