Monday is my Grandpa’s 74th birthday and less than two weeks ago my aunts approached us with the idea of having a surprise birthday party for him since my other aunt, his eldest daughter, will be arriving in LA today for a week long visit. 

The guest list, then, was close to forty peoplel.  Now, I think its closer to sixty.  My dad and Mister went food shopping last weekend and bought sixty pounds of various meat to cook and serve tonight.  Mister is going to start cooking the meat in the next few hours.  We’ll have to pick up nearly 200 pounds of ice for tonight.  An uncle of mine has hired a Mariachi band to play for Grandpa this evening.  We’ve also rented a bounce house for the kids, chairs and a tent to keep the old peeps warm tonight.   I’m making about nine cups of rice as I type this.

We’ve got a nice evening planned and I can’t wait to post pictures , as soon as our damn computeer gets fixed!  So I hope you all have a nice weekend because I know I will!
