Surprise!!

Last week was my sister, Abby's, birthday.  It was her 'Golden' birthday, meaning she turned 23 on the 23rd.  She made a big deal about it (or tried to).  So, those of us who love her, decided to make a big deal about it too and throw her a surprise party.  She tried to ruin it, since the date we planned it for, she was unavailable.  We didn't let that stop us and planned it for today.  Alex and I had been texting back and forth for weeks, but thankfully, Abby doesn't snoop and it truly was a surprise!  (Or if it wasn't, she is a great actor).
We all met in Edwardsville at Dewey's Pizza and got everything set up.  We really got into the 'Golden' aspect of the day.  Gifts included golden grahams, goldfish, golden delicious apples, golden chocolate coins (complete with a gold bar bank to store them in), golden oreos and various other golden things.  It was a great time, and I think Abby had a good day!
