Another Surprise Birthday Party

Recently it was Sterling's birthday, and Kris planned a surprise party for him.  They went out to do some birthday stuff; in the meantime, we were to gather at their house.  I was supposed to bring the birthday cake, which Kris dropped off at my house the day before.

So, I'm sitting around the day of the party, and who should come to the door ... Sterling!  It was a good thing that for some reason I had placed a couple of Atty's blankets on top of the cake box.  So I don't think Sterling really saw it, but may have been suspicious of the huge box.

I stopped at the store on the way to their house and got some balloons, and then went to get everything ready.  And even though Kris really emphasized the need to be on time - they themselves were late.  Finally I get a text that they're almost there and we "hide" in the kitchen area/dining room.  Just as they are pulling into the garage, someone notices that you can see our shadows on the living room wall.  Now, I don't think I would notice that as I pulled in, but Sterling did.  He said to Kris, "Someone's in our house!" though I think he guessed what was going on by that point. 

Surprise!

It was lots of fun.  Happy birthday, Sterling.

This is Kaiya's piece of cake ... she wanted "the flower" but getting the whole flower translated into one huge piece of cake.  So we compromised by getting a picture of the whole thing, and then cutting it in half to actually eat.  Teague did get the whole sun, which wasn't quite as big.
