Gio's Birthday

Last night was Gio's birthday. He says he can't believe he's 20 and I tell him to stop bitching. This was Gio's first ever birthday party and I believe it was done in the best way possible, as a surprise party. I told Gio to come over to my house because we were going to go to a random soccer event that my stepdad had gotten invited to and I wanted him to come along. So what ended up happening was that I would invite everyone over first and then Gio would get here. When Gio got here, my entire house was empty due to everyone hiding in my room while I showed Gio my newest puppies (everyone was trying to steal them). When we came back in, there was everyone just sitting nonchalantly in the living room just to say "SURPRISE." We ended off the day by eatting pizza, playing Guitar Hero and what I would consider one of the coolest birthday cakes I've ever seen. It was a cookies and cream ice cream cake with 20 pink candles in the form of a heart and a gallows with a hanging skeleton.

Throwing this whole thing was really fun even though we forgot about paper plates and had to improvise. All of this would not have been possible with my friend America's help. She called everyone in advanced, helped me set up and picked out the cake that we would use. When you read this, thank you.
