This weekend was a special birthday for my husband. He turned 60 on Saturday. Exactly a year ago, I conceived a plan for the perfect surprise party for this weekend. Covid changed all of that and, instead, I planned small surprises throughout the weekend for him.

I was excited to give my husband a surprise party. I have had one surprise party during my life, my bridal shower when I married my first husband (Nancy was there). I genuinely enjoyed the surprise and wanted to give the same experience to my husband.

His response, so far this weekend, has been that he is really enjoying the smaller surprises as they keep popping up around him. He seems to, actually, prefer the smaller surprises to the surprise party I had planned.

Have you ever had a surprise party? Did you enjoy it? Were you surprised?
