Ivan's surprise 30th birthday for Missi on 1-16-11

 Ivan asked Jody to pick up this beautiful cake.  I think all guests arrived before Ivan and Missi got to the house.  We parked in front so she didn't get suspicious.  With the high snow banks I don't think the cars were really visible.
When we arrived Jody asked me to make a large ribbon for a card.  I asked, "A large
ribbon for a card?"  No, for a car!  Ivan was giving Missi a car for her birthday, a Ford
(how do you spell it?)  The car that's talked alot about.  In front of the car that was
hidden in the garage is the ring bearer from their wedding.  Grown but very recognizable.  Isä had a commitment in Brainerd at 6:30 so we couldn't stay too long but was nice to be there for the little while anyway.  Happy Birthday Missi.

I definately have a great husband! He worked really long and hard on putting everything together. He was exhausted after everyone left. It was a great day and a lot of fun to see everyone!

Thanks to all who came and especially those who helped out with the planning of everything. My apologies to any who didn't get an invitation, especially if you would have come. I'm sure I missed some, but tried to invite any who I thought would be able to make it. It was quite a day and Missi says I managed to keep it a surprise so that's good. Ta ta, Ivan
