surprise!

so yesterday, i mozied over to leah's house for our (awesome!) life group, enthralled. you know, i got there a bit early as usual and just hung out for a bit.


well, at about 6:30, leah got very ancy to start Bible study. she told me three times within 45 seconds to come sit down! i knew something was up, but i figured that maybe they got a cake for me and were about to sing the "happy birthday" song.


but when i sat down (they were all acting really weird! haha!) leah started to introduce our Bible study topic for the night. talking in circles about the snooze series.

and then she looked up and said "NOW!" to andrew.

and then all of a sudden, the front door flung open, and a slew of PEOPLE came rushing in hollering and yelling "happy birthday!!!!"

i still can't believe it! i did not expect that at all!!

almost everyone i know was there!

leah got a lovely "ambrosia" cake for me. (decorated with sentiments resembling last years birthday cake)

chris gave me a beautiful rose. (homegrown- and the first one to be cut from the bush!)


and this nice balloon you see...



(and actually it was accurate, last night was the last possible time i could have ever celebrated being 16! so sarah knew what she was doing! lol)

and the best part...

organic frosted mini wheats! yep.

starbucks, barnes and noble, PEOPLE, organic frosted mini wheats, a rose, rainbow sprinkle cake, balloons,...

oh my goodness! i had so much fun last night!!

they got me!

thanks guys!!!!!!:)

yall are awesome!


sneaky kids!
