Kana and Valerie (Michael's sister) laughing with each other because Holly was able to fool Michael and pull off the surprise of the century!
Michael had no idea about his surprise birthday party! Daphne (thank you!) and cousin Carlos managed to stall him all day by taking him into D.C. to show the monuments and museums to Kana and Jake (by the way, Kana has determined that the Washington Monument looks like a glue stick). Believe me when I say that it is very hard to fool Michael about anything - and he was shocked when everyone shouted surprise!
See Sofie (Michael's Mom), Jake and Carlos enjoying the celebration. Sofie finally gets to meet sweet baby Jake!
Michael was really surprised to see cousin Juan who flew in for the party from Florida.
I win major points for finding Amphora Bakery where they made this incredible 3D Chocolate Raven's cake as well as cookies for the kids with the Raven's logo. We all sang happy birthday and enjoyed the goodies.
We had wonderful tamales and fajitas provided by Rio Grande and a beautiful day so that the kids (young and old) could run around outside and play in the yard. Michael could not believe there were almost 70 people at the party to celebrate with him. Every time he turned around he got to greet more friends and family. The whole party was an absolute blast. We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends.

Michael here - Holly is the BEST!!! I had no idea what-so-ever that she had planned this suprise party. To quote A Famous Historian, she took me "Completely by Suprise!!" I was totally and completely stunned. This party, in and of itself, was the BEST birthday present ever!! It was absolutely amazing how she got all of our friends there. My cousin Juan even flew up from Orlando, and my friend Eric came down from PA. And, gee, everything was Ravens-themed (what a shock!). The cake was incredible! I just can't wait until Holly (with my help) gets to plan a birthday party for our child.
