Bryant & Alexis Jensen: Happy {Early} Birthday Bryant!

It's Bryant's Birthday!!!...on June 30th.

So what better way to celebrate him turning 26 then by throwing him a surprise party at his parents house 26 days early? (I really didn't plan for it to be 26 days, it just happened to be the only time we could both go up to Logan on a Saturday and have his family all be there.)

While Bryant was golfing with his brother and my brother, I hurried and bought his favorite cake (Sam's Club- White cake with white frosting) and the other party supplies and ran back to the house to set everything up.

In order to get him outside to see everything, I had to tell him that his parents cat, Kramer, had been digging a huge hold in the back that he needed to see. He walked right past the decorations, his mind focused on finding the hole I was talking about.

A week or two before this, I told Bryant that I had purchased his birthday present. He kept pestering me to try and get any information he could. I finally told him that I bought him tickets. That wasn't enough information. He wanted to know dates, locations, if I was going to be with him or not...(I think he really wanted the Miami vs Ohio State football tickets). The following picture is Bryant opening up the decoy present with two tickets that said, "Cache Valley Center for the Arts Presents: Couples Pottery, June 24th, 6:00 PM". He kind of stared at them for a second and tried to think of a tactful way to say, "Seriously??"

I actually held my smile off for around 45 seconds, long enough to make him think I was offended he didn't like his "Couples Pottery" tickets. (Couples Pottery? Seriously?! I impressed myself, coming up with something that Bryant AND I would absolutely hate!)

So then I told Bryant his real present was somewhere in the house and he had to go find it.
