Mike's 29th Birthday

Mike had a semi-surprise party for his 29th Birthday. Why 29th and not 30th? Many reasons, but the main one is why not? Who says the milestone birthdays have to be the big ones? Other reasons include: Who suspects a 29th party? as well as Will Mike even be home for his 30th?

The reason for a semi-surprise was that Mike finally had to be told that I had been planning a party for him two weeks prior. So with very, very little details, Mike was asked to leave the house for a few hours in order for me to set up for his party. The BIGGEST surprise was his mom and dad drove in from ATL with Mike's favorite birthday treat, cookie cake, in tow. Was he ever surprised to see them?!?! Mike said he thought it weird that some guests looked like his parents, but he didn't put it together until he went around the room to hug them! It was a super-special treat for us to be able to share his birthday with friends and family.
