This is up there with one of the biggest things i have organised, i managed to pull off an actual surprise 21st party for Kyle which he had no idea about!! I was amazed at how well everyone around him kept it a secret, even i had to bite my tongue and choose my words VERY carefully whiles talking to him, it is harder than you think!!
It turned out well, the first venue i found just down the road at the Albion hotel had their Queen Victoria Ballroom free for Friday the13th (i was worried that would be a bad omen!), so i went down, had a look and booked it!
The Albion is such a nice hotel i would love to go there for a meal of coffee sometime. It was the lead up week which was a little more hectic balancing uni with making 2 power ranger costumes (thank you mum!!), ordering balloons, making and decorating cupcakes (thank you my good friend Lexi and mum again!) and trying to hide it all from Kyle while making sure he didn't have any plans for that night, at least most of his friends already had that night booked and couldn't make new plans with him:P
I had a great time Friday afternoon decorating the cupcakes with mum though who happened to come up for a night out at a bank dinner at Burswood with dad which they both really enjoyed.
There was a little panic at the hotel setting up as my laptop wasn't working for photo's, suddenly it was getting late and i hadn't started getting ready, i still had to take mum to Burswood, peak hour traffic was starting and Kyle was looking for me at the unit!! But mum and i managed to get her to Burswood by picking up Kyle for a ride and playing it cool pretending we had been shopping. It worked out well from there, Kyle and i went out to sushi in Claremont and had a nice time and just enough time to eat and not be in a rush. At 7.30 i mentioned i wanted to take him somewhere and he was thinking the movies, i was worried he was tired and wouldn't want too but thankfully he agreed! When we got to the hotel i told him we were doing karaoke which he didn't want to do but i had to say it :P as i took him up the stairs giving the signal to his friends to prepare the surprise i think he started getting a little suspicious! We opened the double doors and yay the surprise was a success!!! I was so happy with everyone who made an effort to come and dress up - the theme was 90's cartoon character :) After greeting everyone we got changed and had a wonderful night. Of course there were a few speeches and a video his mum gave me of when Kyle was younger, cupcakes, dancing and i managed to sneak in some bubbles!
I am relieved and happy Kyle had a great night, it was wonderful to see all his friends, most of those he knew from Denmark came and made the night even more fun. They are a funny and awesome group of people!
We also went out to Jus Burgers and San Churro's in Subiaco with a group of friends from medicine which was really nice for Kyle's actual birthday, I think he had a great extended celebration which he deserves! Happy 21st Kyle :)
