Ok...so the plan was, I had to convince Joel that before we
all went out for his bday dinner (w/mom & Ricky) we had to go watch Ricky kick-box on the top floor of his
building (party room) during his private lessons. Joel complained all the way up the elevator... all I could say
to him was "shut up" over and over again. He was SO easy to fool...I even made him carry unnecessary
things to distract him (see him holding my clothes)
Smiling at dad as he hears "SURPRISE"
Hugging mom giggling in shock..
BIG HUG!!
NOW this is SO JOEL... a little teary eyed!
Notice Ricky's hand yanking on Joel's jacket...
probably looking for a hug!!!!
