ssssssssshhhhhhhh.....Surprise!



Anna's 30th Birthday Week (of course it couldn't be constrained to one day or a single weekend) ended with a bang. With the help of many of our new friends via blackberrys, iphones, text messages, and good old fashion keys under the door, we were able to put together a smashing surprise for Anna! She had no idea that a quick stop back by our place after the pub to drop off some things would lead to a house full of people, drinks, and cake!

Though I tried to act like it wasn't a big deal, the most difficult part of the entire planning process involved Anna's repeated demands for her favorite cake and frosting throughout the week. Little did she know it was secretly transported from the U.S. via special courier (our prior roommate Allegra) and then brought to life by a three member baking team (thankfully she didn't head to Partridge's to make it herself, though she suggested it twice).

Thanks again to everyone who helped out and were able to make it. We are sorry everyone back home couldn't be here as well, but click here and see below for more pictures of the special event.
