Ad's Surprise 40th Par-tay!

We celebrated Adrian's 40th birthday early by having a surprise party at a restaurant called, "Claim Jumpers." Adrian thought we were just meeting with family for dinner but his sisters secretly got a hold of some of his his old High School classmates!Adrian's so happy to see one of his oldest and best friends, Wally Parker!


They had a few old pictures on display. A High School graduation picture and one that was taken right when he went on his mission.
We all got to make a special edition of "The Grimme Tidings" which is an underground newspaper Adrian and his brother, Tom used to produce when they were in HS. We wrote all about Adrian- even the old Vice Principle they used to knock all the time wrote a few words!

Sonia and her husband Richard Weaver...cute!
The whole party...
Ad got a few gag gifts, these were "40" pills" that he is to take for loss of hearing, loss of memory, or for mid-life crisis.
Since he's been thinning just a bit we got this "poor man's toupee" to cover it up!
Adrian and his sisters Shanti, and Sonia, who put the party together!
Friends who came to the pary: Rhelda Tollett and her sister, Denise, Adrian, Wally Parker, Jill Wilson and Sheri Boon.
