Surprise!!!

What a fantastic weekend!! We had a surprise party for my Uncle Paul, and boy was it a surprise!!! We all met at a hotel and had his son call and say his car wouldn't start. All was well until my uncle got there and tried to call my cousin 5 times with no answer. He was just pulling out of the parking lot when my cousin called him back, and he was less than pleased with his son!! We finally got him in the hotel and he was baffled!! He had NO idea!! It was great!! That was the frist surprise!


The next surprise was my uncle from California flew in to surprise my uncle!! It took about ten minutes before my uncle Paul even realized Tom was there!! Everyone in the family was there except one aunt who lives in Arizona!!

It has been a LONG year for this side of my family, especially my uncle Paul! He was diagnosed with cancer in January and now is finally in remission after a bit of a roller coaster ride, to say the least. So, even though it was a birthday party, it had more meaning behind it than just him getting old! The party was a huge success, which is not uncommon for the Allen's...most of the time it is a party when we all get together. Here are some photos!
My uncle with his whole purple family! (Exluding Matthew who is at Basic Training)




I think he got enough Vinkings gear for every game of the season!

Surprise #3...Paul will get another grandchild in May!!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Paul!!! Love You!!!
