Hee hee! We were so tricky! We planned a surprise birthday party for Abe's 51st birthday. Everyone gathered at the Riverton Chubby's banquet room and then--after running a few made up errands together, Abe and I showed up, and we all enjoyed a tasty dinner. Then we all went around sharing what we loved about Abe. Most of the comments were about how caring he is and how much he loves his family. It was very tender.
The surprise gathering was Clark's idea-- and a very fine idea it was.
But the surprises weren't over yet....
Before we ran our excuse errands, we dropped Peter and Greta at Ben and Bethany's for a "movie night". But as soon as we dropped them off, they all headed back to our house to decorate for Phase 2.
George "went to the gym" with Landen. But actually, they headed over to Chubby's to decorate for the Phase 1.
This is what we came home to-- a karaoke party!! This was most definitely our family's cup of tea. It was sooo much fun!
Clark kicked it off with a little Billy Joel-- "Movin' Out"
Ben and Beth did couple of duets-- "Double Trouble" from
Eurovision and "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. And can I just say-- these two can SING!
Abe and I performed our traditional and ever-inspiring "Endless Love" by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. We've been doing it for years... and dare I say, we are actually improving?
Faith and Landen sang "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"
In one of the most hysterical moments of the night-- Cannon singing "Lion of Love" from
EurovisionPeter's first ever karaoke-- "Viva la Vida". Well done, Peter!
Greta rocked "Party in the USA"
George-- who was quite the vocal revelation-- performed "A Man Without Love"
Hunter-- who, btw-- is also an fantastic singer performed "Hooked on a Feeling" .
The whole night it was so fun to cheer and sing along. It was like our own personal little rock concert.
You probably wouldn't... but you might ask... Betsy, why did you get such a boring cake? Well the truth is, I was trying so hard to decide what message to write on the cake that I forgot to specify any other decoration or frosting color. So I suppose the Costco worker went with the gender neutral yellow. Oh well. It was tasty, nonetheless.
