We got up Saturday morning and got everything ready for Kitti's surprise party. Some of us went to stores to pick some things up like the cake from Costco, and the rest of us stayed behind to decorate.
The invitations said for everyone to come at 1:00 PM. Kitti wasn't scheduled to be there until around 2:00 PM. The best part is how we got Kitti to come all the way from Vista to Linda's house in Temecula.
Linda had called Kitti earlier in the week and said that Holli (Linda's daughter) was having a party at her house for her in-laws anniversary (side note on that: their anniversary is acutally in June!) and they wanted to order some flowers from Kitti to be delivered around 2PM on Saturday. Little did she know that she was creating flower bouquets for her own party!
The cake table with the flowers that Kitti brought:
Of course since this was the first time Tim's extended family got to see Karsen, he got passed around and around! Good thing he's an easy going baby!
While we waited for Kitti and Herb to arrive to the party, Tim's Aunt Joy was holding Karsen and this is how he fell asleep! 
We definitely surprised Kitti once she arrived and came around to the back patio....and I got video of it!
Do you think she was surprised? Haha! Not only was she surprised with a party, she was definitely surprised that me, Tim, Karsen, Renee and Bryan were all there! I think that may have been the biggest surprise!
The party setup: 
Since everyone was taking turns holding the baby, that left me free to chat with some of the family there. I'm so glad that they have all welcomed me so lovingly into the family!
Of course the grandparents got some time to hold Karsen as well and I love these next two pictures!
Cute! (Thanks Holli for this picture!):
It was a fun party with a great turnout! Thank you to everyone who was there and not spilling the beans to Kitti!! :-)
Up next: Pumpkin Patch
Love, Michaela
