HAIRSPRAY!!

I have the best husband. Last night, I received an early surprise for my birthday. We were all just hanging out doing nothing, when someone knocked on the door. It was our good friend's, the Bjarnason's (who Jack absolutely LOVES!). Justin turned to me and said, "You better go change, the babysitters are here!" Not knowing what was going on, I went and changed and we left to go out to dinner.
Denise wanted a picture with all of us right before we left because it was the last time she would get to see Jack. She left early this morning before he was awake...Notice the tears in her eyes. :)

After we ate some super yummy Mongolian grill, we started driving towards down town Cleveland. We ended up at Playhouse Square and Justin informed me that we were going to see HAIRSPRAY!! I was SO excited!! I had no idea it was even in town. I couldn't hardly wait to get inside!

Here we are waiting for it to start.

I was a little nervous, because I love the movie so much and I wasn't sure if it would be the same or if I would like it as much. It was really cute, and the singing was great. The movie is good, but there is something about a live musical that I love. We had so much fun! It was the best birthday present and completely unexpected.

And then when we got home, Suzy and Spencer had made a cake while we were gone (I'm not sure how much Spencer actually participated...) and brought over some ice cream. They even sang Happy Birthday.

Thanks guys for being such good babysitters and for the YUMMY cake!!

We are lucky to have such good friends here in Cleveland. :)
