The Blattners: It's all about Worm!

I loved the custom cake.

A little Background: My nickname is Worm. Sorry, no wild and crazy story from my youth behind it. My name is Angelena, everyone calls me Angel which is often misspelled as Angle, Mary Smith used to call me Angle Worm which Roberta shortened to Worm. I think Henry and Roberta are the only two people that call me Worm and it always makes me smile!

My 30th birthday turned out to be fantastic (and was not at all traumatizing)! It was my first ever surprise party (I threw Henry a surprise party for his 30th so I think he felt a little pressure to do something special for mine). The kids were let in on it since neither of them has ever given up a secret they were told to keep. However, for some reason, Paige just couldn't help herself this time. She would start telling me things but then would realize she shouldn't. She would cover her mouth, "Oh, I've said too much!". It was cute to see her struggle with wanting to tell but knowing that she shouldn't. Blake, on the other hand, didn't give anything away. Paige must have had some of the details boggled in her mind so the "clues" she was letting slip actually just confused me. When they yelled "Surprise" at my birthday party, I was completely surprised.

There was a great showing considering it was a Wednesday night. Around 30 people came to celebrate. Some of us may have celebrated a bit too much as the next day was not without some pain and discomfort. It turns out that there was very little photographic evidence of the event, and that may be a good thing. I want to thank my Party Planners Roberta, Sara, and Henry as well as all of the people that were able to attend. It really meant a lot to me. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.
