I arrived late Thursday night and told her that I needed to borrow her car on Friday to go visit some friends. I took her to work on Friday morning and then actually headed back to her house to get ready for the party. Stacy was a little bit upset with me because on Friday's (especially before a holiday weekend) she often gets to leave work early, but since I had her car she was stuck at work. We also had her boss in on the surprise and he was not about to let her leave early. After work dad and Bonnie picked her up, took her out for a drink (which she now says somewhat gave it away because "when has dad EVER taken me out for a drink after work?") and then they had her back to her house at 6:30 for a party with over 60 of her closest friends!
Here she is coming into the house.....
Peggy & Tami hung out in the back of the kitchen until Stacy spotted them in the crowd. It was so fun......Stacy bunny hopped, crying, across the kitchen to them!
