Natalia's surprise birthday party!
    - Monday, November 28, 2005

We all decided to have a surprise birthday party for Nat who is turning 19 this year..She is the baby of the group...ha..Her actual birthday is on the 5th of December but some of us will not be around on that day so we wanted to celebrate it earlier with her. So we went over to Selena's place last Friday but we pretended it was just a casual dinner.Chris and Cass went over earlier to buy groceries and start cooking. The rest of us just met Nat at the bus loop and headed down later..

When we reached Selena's place, the girls all helped out in the kitchen for awhile including Nat. So she was not suspicious at all until the guys started blowing balloons and decorating the house while Dan kept Nat in Selena's room and insisted that she couldnt go out..haha..So obviously she knew something was going on..Oh well, at least she was a little surprised at the beginning and she was really touched too by our gesture!haha...
