Shhhh....it's a SURPRISE for Frank!!!

60?  Really!?  I tell him to tell others that he is 50!!!!  I am not kidding!
So the surprise is UP.  Frank walked into our home, thinking I'm having a Downton Abbey party for girlfriends, wondering outloud "why do you have balloons for a downton abbey party?"  and then the "oh my goodness" moment hits him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Happy birthday honey!!!
Guess who got a sip of champagne?  Daddy's little girl!  And Mommy's too!  ;)
Great friends together tonight.
Thanks Kelly!  You brought the balloons and helped make this night so special....you took most of these pictures.  I am forever grateful for you!
Some close friends.
A sweet little one.
I worked hard on this cake, and to keep it a secret, and to keep the entire party a secret.  At this moment of the party I am well on my way to feeling happy and relieved.   Have you ever thrown a surprise party?  They are kind of stressful! :)
My first time making this cake, from Smitten Kitchen, it's a Chocolate Hazelnut Crepe Cake.  Everyone seemed to like it, thank God!  It was fun to make and I was excited about it.
Waiting for Frank to blow out candles.
The cake is lit.
"Happy Birthday to you.....
Make a wish!
Hold on who gets the first piece?
Oh yes!  FRANK does!  Look at that face!
So much fun with his friends!
And of course there is sweet Little Lia!!!!
Daddy and his girl
Lia got these aweswome stickers from Kelly and she placed them on all of us girls, all in different designs.  Vicki got them all in an arc!  What a little sweetie Lia was!
Great friends.
Great family!
Happy Birthday Frank!  You are well loved!
