Party in a Box!

So in regards to my last post...the top secret stuff we were doing while I was up at my parent's for the weekend was getting things together for Natalie's big birthday surprise.  Since Natalie no longer lives in Utah and this was her first birthday away from home, we decided to do something special. Unbeknown to Natalie, I was in ca-hoots with her boyfriend in planning a big birthday surprise.  My family decided to send her a Party in a Box.  Basically it has everything she needed to throw herself a birthday bash...Hutchison style.

And what's a party without a theme?  Can you guess what the theme was?

Asain Delight...that's right. We even made her signs that said Happy Birthday in Chinese (totally my idea!)

I also came up with a briliant idea.  As you all know we Hutchisons love us some awesome birthday cake.  So I made Natalie a step by step guide on how we wanted her to make her birthday cake.

It was a sushi roll and it was awesome.

I put it all together in a booklet.  If you can't read the title page...here is what it says. "How to Make a FABULOUS Birthday Cake by the Hutchisons. A step by step informational guide on how to make your birthday cake. Follow Directions Exactly. DO NOT look ahead. Most importantly have Fun! We love you and miss you...ya I rock! 

I even provided her with all the ingredients she needed to successfully pull this cake off.

My mom got Natalie this awesome tea pot as a birthday gift.  So cool right?

We put the rest of her presents in these.  Man, we are so freaking cool...if I do say so myself. 

So we boxed all this stuff up and sent it to Natalie's boyfriend's house.  On her birthday he picked her up and took her to his house where he had put up all the decorations.  She was totally shocked.  She kept asking him if one of us was going to pop out of the closet. Pretty much it was the best birthday she has ever had.  Your Welcome!  Then to top it off....get a load of this...her boyfriend bought her a plot of land in Scotland!  So she would have the title of "Lady"....seriously.  I'm not kidding.  Natalie is now officially Natalie Hutchison Lady of Guenivere (I dont' know how to spell the name of the place)  Who buys someone land for their birthday?!  There is even paper work to prove it.  Well, of course Natalie loved it...

While were getting all this stuff together Bennett and Eden decided to have some fun. Bennett totally crawls in there by himself and Eden was L.O.V.I.N.G. it

 

Then Ever decided to join the fun.

On a completely different and unrelated note...the other day I was watching Bronson and he kept begging me to go outside.  He kept saying, "I go to baseball practice"  So we bundled up and headed out.  Eden looked adorable as always and so I HAD to get a couple shots of her.  Love this girl!

Her daddy was so proud!

The hat is still a little big, I know, but what's a girl without a bow?

I could just eat her up!
