Adam's birthday bash continues

Little did Adam know his birthday bash would continue past his actual birthday... Adam thought we were headed out to dinner on Wednesday night, 11/15 but actually I surprised him with 3 tickets to the UNC v. Davidson basketball game at Bobcats stadium. Dave and Tyler showed up at our door with the tickets as Adam and I were supposedly leaving for dinner. I think he was actually surprised because when we were about to leave for dinner he said "I guess I better tape the UNC game" in a pretty sad voice. Here are some pictures from the big surprise.

Tyler clearly thinks these guys are crazy...

Tyler and Adam...

Dave and Adam having a grand ole time.

Dave said...: Once when I was in elementary school Peter Zelem had a birthday party in which he could take 3 of his friends to a David Copperfield (Yes the illusionist) I was not invited...this totally made up for that! That was one of the best birthday parties I have ever been to! Thanks Linds!!; November 17, 2007 at 9:44 PM
