Birthday Bandits Strike Again.....

I love my friends! As tradition goes, we get together and decorate the house of whoevers birthday it is the night before. I kept getting told that things were changing this year, and that they were going to do something different. Dean and I had plans of sabotage if they mentioned anything to him about decorating the house, but no one said a word (smart on their part). So just as we were getting ready to go to bed that night, Dean opened the front door and said, I wonder what they're going to do if they're not decorating the house.... and there they were! They ran away and Dean got excited! He was kicking himself for not being better prepared, so the next 1/2 hour or so consisted of them trying to sneak back and Dean banging on windows they were next to, chasing them through the back yard and making strange noises, turning off lights..... I'm sure they had had enough of him by the time he finished. I think he enjoyed them coming as much as I did! We were just getting ready to sneak out the back and put honey on their car door handles when they started to leave. We'll be better prepared next time.... Here are a few shots of the damage!

Leaving their mark....


Alayna had invited me to lunch for the day, and planning on my indecisiveness and letting her choose, she took me to Carino's and said we were with the group of 20! Surprise! I was not expecting that one! Thanks you guys! I'd rather not be a source of attention, but you guys are the greatest! Thanks for a great day!

Aw, so fun! Happy late Birthday. I'm glad that even as a true grown-up adult, such as yourself, there's still time to act childish too.

Hahaha! Dean made it so fun! It was very exciting. Now I am glad that we left when we did, poor Alayna would have had a huge gooey mess on her car!
