Joe's Surprise-

The gang at Joe's work were nice enough to organize a surprise "baby sprinkle" for Joe. They were also sweet enough to include Ben and me in the surprise. Let me tell you, it was tricky to keep the secret - I had to be extremely sneaky switching a date night and Joe's chiropractor appointment. Sheesh, it wasn't easy, but somehow we pulled it off (I didn't tell Ben until a few hours before the party)!

 Ben excited for the party and happy to surprise Daddy at work.
Joe came into the room completely shocked to see everyone (about 20 people - wish I had pics of everyone!). He thought he was going to a Document Imaging Processing meeting. Those are his bosses behind him who had set up this "meeting" all a part of the surprise.
They got gifts for everyone (a big brother t-shirt and "My New Baby and Me" book for Ben, in addition to cute Washington U. gear for baby and a "My Dad Rocks" t-shirt). They also had Joe's favorite - Mexican food... I got to enjoy a fake margarita.
Joe in his new dad vest - complete with latex gloves, diapers, gas mask, wipes, baby bottle, changing pad, etc. It was pretty funny and a great surprise for Joe. Ha, ha - we totally got him - I loved it!! Such a fun and special day!
