30 Rocks


Birthday's can be fun - but it turns out that "30 rocks" at least that was the theme of this weekends activities.  Unfortunatly for Jess she is the oldest of the three amigos that is Kim, Jess & Traci... therefore she was first to hit the big 30.  For months Kim and I have been plotting out how we might celebrate this milestone event... it required spreadsheets, flowcharts, top secret emails, microphones, headphones, iphones, a little creativity, some luck and lots of help from Jess friends and family - but after much worry and anxiety it was a complete success and best of all, Jess was surprised!
Chandra and Jadya somehow managed to convince Jess that Kim and I were coming later the night of her birthday for dinner, however instead, we showed up bright and early with a Treat family favorite, Louies' custard rolls, armed with our plan and ready for a day filled with fun.
The general idea of this "spy party" as Jess would like to call it - was as follows:  Jess had a variety of clues (movie clips) and after listeing to the clip she had to guess the next activity as well as the name of the movie.  Each clip lined up with a fun activity or present from one of her friends or family...

The end result looked something like this:

Jess trying to figure out the clues
 
Roller skating
Shopping for a new outfit (no she did not buy this)
 
 
Manicure/Pedicure
 
View from the hotel room  (29th floor - how cool is that) 
A little gambling - Completely against everything Kim belives in
