We surprised Jason and Alicen last night with a HUGE surprise party. Luke and I grilled hamburgers (a BIG thanks to Mom for making all 50 patties) while everyone else brought a favorite side to go along. The food was really good and the fellowship even better.
I really coordinated everything (and even liked being a little sneaky!) through email with our Sunday School Class. Jason and Alicen have been wonderful directors and deserved something special for sure!
We had over 34 people and 5 kids here last night. I know now that my house is NOT childproof, and chex mix and coffee table decor do not go well with kids! Other than that our house held everyone great! I got a good group picture of everyone just before Jason and Alicen showed up. They were really shocked...so we got 'em good!
We also surprised them with a gift card to their favorite restraunt. Luke and I are so blessed to have them as our close friends, and I was more than happy to do this for them! Thanks so much to everyone who came, ate, talked, laughed, and had a good ole time! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for hosting the party! I'm glad Jason & Alicen were surprised!
It looks like the party was a HUGE success! I am so proud of you and Luke for doing this for Jason & Alicen. They've been such great friends to ya'll and I know they were really blessed. Having big group parties like this is fun AND it is a great way to get everyone in the class involved. I LOVE big crowds - the more the merrier! The group picture was a great idea Mel....you'll be so glad that you took all those photos - not only is it great scrapbook material BUT you'll have fun looking back over the party in days and weeks to come! I love you Mel!!!!!
