Adam's SURPRISE Party!!! 80's style...

I've been planning Adam's surprise party for a little while now...and I was SO happy when the day finally came!! (it is REALLY hard keeping something I'm so excited about from my other half!) Adam is a product of the 80's, so I decided to go with an 80's party theme :) I invited some family, some co-workers, and few friends...so happy they were there to surprise Adam!!! Lots of people love that guy :)

Here's the cover & inside of the invite I made...on picnik.com (of course) and sent them with our favorite card program, Send Out Cards.

My first plan was to take him out to an early Valentine's Dinner, then we'd head home and he'd be surprised!!! Everyone else would be in 80's gear & we'd hurry change to join the party. But luckily my sister-in-law Becca said, "Wouldn't it be awesome if you could get him to dress up before the party??" So asked him if we could have a themed Valentine's date and he was up for it!! I love Adam and his spontaneity! I told him we'd need to be home at 8pm to meet our friends Jed & Lindsey who's be dressed in 80's as well to play some old school board games (Rummikub & Jenga) and watch "This Is It". Let's see if the plan worked... ;)

In our 80's get-ups at our beloved Royal India...the place was packed, hope we provided a little entertainment for the people around us ;)

We headed home, and thanks to my partner-in-crime/sister-in-law Becca I was able to pull off surprising him!!! Everyone was waiting in our basement, we headed down stairs and SURPRISE!!!!!! Oh we got him good :)

Adam's stellar parents were there too...they came a little later though :)

{I had fun getting the old school candy...Pop Rocks & Bottle Caps, oh yes}

{don't you just love his little acid washed overalls?? Aven was a little party animal with the rest of us :) }

{Here are the guys doing their part for our RAD music video!! Thanks to Camary's choreography, The Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby", a few run-throughs, and everyone's mad dancing skills it made for a great time and some good laughes!!}

{Love all these people...so glad they were there to celebrate Adam's birthday!}

{i love my birthday boy}

{Eli giving little Aven pop rocks for the first time...after getting used to it, he said "Nummy!"}

We played an epic game of 80's charades...here are some of the things we acted out:

We went battle-of-the-sexes route...and the girls won with the least amount of time to guess each one! :)

{animal print pants, high heels, high tops, and leg warmers...doesn't get more 80-ish than that}

Brooks went to bed extra early, so when he woke up at around 11pm I decided to bring him down to party with his Daddy :) Do you like his cut-off tee?? heehee

Brooks loved doing airplane with his Uncle Ben!!

And we finished off the night with Michael Jackson's "This Is It" (playing in the background), LOVE that movie.

I love you Adam!!!! Happy early Birthday babe! Can't wait to spend the next 25 years [and more] with you!

PPS - Happy Valentine's Day!! Can't wait for tonight with my sweetheart :)
