We surprised Nicki this weekend with an 80's style birthday party for her 25th birthday. We originally told her we were throwing her cousin Jennifer the party so we asked Nicki to pick her up so she wouldn't suspect anything. When Jennifer came through the door first, we yelled, "Surprise!" with Nicki yelling along with us. When we yelled "Surprise, Nicki!" she was so shocked she was speechless! The photo of her on the floor was after she realized the party was for her! It was priceless. Too bad I didn't get it on video. I was too busy jumping up and down while laughing.
We played songs from the 80's, she sang karaoke (with family and friends as back-up), did an 80's trivia game and the guest acted out her favorite 80's tv shows! We ended the day with Hello Kitty cupcakes. I spent that morning cooking all of her favorite dishes (string beans, mac and cheese, chicken fettuccine, tossed salad and zucchini casserole). Its probably the last big meal I will cook for a while and its the last of the big birthday parties I will do for my kids (who are now 25, 26, and 27). As a matter of fact I think its time someone threw me a party! LOL

Oh, that sounds like fun! So neat that Nicki was in on the planning without knowing that the party was for her!
I just blogged a picture of myself wearing leggings from the 80s, so this is a fun coincidence. :)
