A Surprise 18th Birthday Party for Daniel

We had a surprise 18th birthday party for Daniel with over 20 family members who came to celebrate. Daniel, who is normally pretty talkative, was momentarily speechless when he walked into the Italian restaurant and saw everyone there. The inside pictures didn't come out to well but we had a great time! One very special treat was that Jeremy, who had just had major surgery the week before, was able to come and be part of our celebration ~ this truly made the night perfect and we were very thankful:) The food was delicious, the fellowship was fabulous, and the look on Daniel's face when he realized it was a surprise party for him...priceless!

The boys were excited to go on a carriage ride ~ I think they were more excited to get under the blankets in the carriage as it was a COLD evening to be outside.


We had a nice time talking with Daniel and Alyssa during our carriage ride. There is a cherub that "watches over" downtown Indy during the holiday season and we attempted to find him during our ride, we didn't find him during the ride but dad called us to disclose his secret location later that evening.


Uncle Tony and Aunt Cheryl rode in the carriage with Jordan and Nicholas. Jordan was thrilled as he knew Tony would talk basketball with him while they were on their carriage ride.



Curtis and I had a great night with all our family celebrating Daniel's 18th birthday. It brought back memories of when we lived in Ft Wayne and we went on a carriage ride one evening then decided Con*y Island sounded good afterwards. Not the most romantic date night... but if you live in Ft Wayne...let's just say you understand:)


We all had a wonderful carriage ride around downtown Indy and the circle of lights, it was a night we will always remember.



Uncle Tony always has a smile on his face and the boys enjoyed being with he and Aunt Cheryl.
