I'd longed for a surprise party my while life, and got one as a farewell when we moved out here to Oregon. I'll never forget it. I'm sure your party for boy wonder will have a special spot in his heart forever, too. And that freakin' cake? Gorgeous! ___________________________________________ <em>Oh, thanks. He LOVED it. He is still talking about it. ~W</em> This is so, so special, Wende! I’d longed for a surprise party my while life, and got one as a farewell when we moved out here to Oregon. I’ll never forget it.

Even more so on a birthday. This was no doubt a "December to Remember" and *not* for what the season promises. But it seems to be ending right. At least as I sit writing this on the end of 12/22 - one of the most significant days of my life. More days will come but this one will be treasured for a lifetime. Who could ask for anything more? ________________________________ <em>This has been a rough December and it continues to be so. I'm looking forward to January.
