Chris' 40th SURPRISE party

Hunter, Jordan and I threw Chris a surprise party for his 40th birthday! It is hard to believe that we actually surprised Chris. But we pulled it off.


I thought his cake turn out great!


Jake helped me get Chris out of the house and kept him entertained while we set up for the party and everyone arrived. Our neighbors, Dave and Mary, let everyone park at their house. His parents brought old pictures of him.

Jake's last name is Hooker. So with his brother, Drew and his son at the party and Jake's family. I was kidding Chris that 6 Hookers were at his 40th party. How many people can say that? And his wife invited them.

Chris was surprised to see so many people from different stages of his life at the party.


Beth, Kim, Melanie and Charlie

The biggest surprise for Chris was seeing his brother.

Cole and Chris

The kids went swimming at the lake and had fun playing together.

Chris and his cake
We only made him blow out 2 candles.
After the big surprise, we were not sure his heart and lungs would be able to blow out 40 candles. :)

Cole and his family spent the night with us. We enjoyed seeing them. The boys stayed up until 2am playing and watching movies.



Hunter, Jordan, Daniel and Kate

Thanks to everyone who helped us surprise Chris!
