The kids wanted to have a birthday party for their Dad. They had all kinds of ideas and wanted to make their own party decorations. Because the kids wanted the whole thing to be a surprise we had to set up and tear down the decorating station every day.
My kids were up just as their Dad left for work and shut the garage door. They were so excited about their party... Read More
