Auntie April's 40th

This girl can be hard to surprise.  I had to tell her we were going to have a small family party for her so she wouldn't plan her own Birthday party (not that there is anything wrong with that).  But really I invited everyone I could think of.  It was so much fun to surprise her.  She says her outfit is proof that she had no idea what was going on.  I love everyone that showed up even more.  Especially family all the way from Arizona!!!  She freaked out, which was the reaction I was going for.

  The bouncy house was a request of Aprils, but I think my kids and the neighbor kids got the most use out of it. 

I found this cute picture of her when she was three (I'm a sucker for glasses) to put on her cake.    The nieces all fought over who got to eat her eyes.

And old friends husband grabbed the uke off the mantle to sing Happy Birthday to April.  It was the most lively rendition of "Happy Birthday" I have ever heard.  So awesome I wish I would have recorded it.

Someone loves their Auntie.  Matching haircut, matching eyes.
