I DID IT! I actually threw a successful surprise party for Kevin! Successful meaning both that everyone had fun and that Kevin really didn't figure it out. I'm not so great about keeping secrets sometimes so I was sure I was going to give something away about this one, but he was truly surprised. I had told him that my cousins Geoff and Tracy (plus daughter Addison plus bun in the oven) were coming over at 6:30. The party started at 4:00 so at 3:30 I told him we had a very important errand to run. We set out and he was trying to figure out the whole way there. When we pulled into the Downtown Disney parking lot, he said, "This has something to do with bears, doesn't it?" We arrived at DD and met up with everyone else and the party began. Megan was our Party Bear and she did an awesome job. Everyone really had a great time. Some people kept their bears for themselves or as gifts, and the other bears we are donating to the Children's Hospital of Orange County. We ended up with 5 bears for CHOC so I think that's going to make a great gift to them. Afterwards we headed back here for pizza and cake (and wine, of course). It was a great party and a real surprise to Kevin, so a big THANK YOU to everyone who was able to make it!

Everyone made the most adorable bears -- most people are unselfishly donating them to Children's Hospital of Orange County.
Good job Shelby!!!
