our little family: Eddie's 40th birthday bash!

This day was Awesome! John took Eddie on a "joyride" this morning to get him out of the house. Mom and Jean came over and helped decorate. Dad ran last minute errands. I couldn't have done it without them! Eddie was definitely surprised! I thought surely he knew, but he swears that he didn't. All of the family was here for a wonderful day of celebrating and just spending time together. The kids all got along and were sooooo good considering it was to cold to go out and there were 13 kids in my little house. I worked really hard on everything (especially the photo show) and I am just glad to see it all come together and be such a fun day. Everybody got here before Eddie got home and that was Awesome in itself. Thanks to everybody for coming and for the amazing gifts that you got Eddie. I really wasn't expecting you guys to get him anything but he was tickled with everything he got! Cameron colored him a picture and was telling him about it and that was just so sweet. Most of the kids signed their own names too and that was cool. Mia included her last name and I thought that was hysterical. Anyway, thanks to everybody for making it a special day! All of the kids are pictured here except for Jordan. I hate that I didn't get a picture of him!
