SURPRISE....?

Last weekend we ventured to KY to visit with friends and Ron's best friend since elementary school's 30th birthday. Ruthann had a surprise party that, surprisingly, he didn't find out about until right before the party when HE didn't follow the plans! We drove down thursday and arrived around dinnertime. We played games and visited with everyone (REALLY nice visit) all weekend. Saturday, the plan was that everyone do whatever during the day then meet at a friend's, Dan, house at 5 (for the guys) as they were going to take Don out for his birthday. Don didn't listen and showed up at Dave's...which is where the party was. He felt bad but it was still a WONDERFUL night. At that point, Ruthann didn't care a whole lot as she had been planning this with Ron and I since before Christmas!!!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

(Some are of the party at Dave's (where we stayed) - some are us gaming at Dave's - the cake Mary made from scratch (well...all but the cake mix) - and the little guy is Don and Ruthann's baby, Donald Lee Richardson IV, he'll be 1 in April and is such a cute and fun little guy!)
















Oh and all the candy little Donnie is playing with, was Don's gifts from his crazy friends...Ruthann wanted something that had to do with "30" so we all got him 30 oz of candy or 30 things of candy...so much for his diet he's on! :)
