Glad you had a nice date :) And yay for secret weapons XD What did you actually have for breakfast if the photos are for demo purposes only? Or is that secret squirrel business?
Think the only thing I've managed for J was a surprise 30th where I somehow managed to arrange for a bunch of our friends and some of his old school friends (which required some liasion through one of them who had added me on Facebook for reasons unknown but this proved very useful for this XD) to meet at a pub which I then casually suggested we go to as a family because it was family-friendly and there was beer there that he liked. The pub and associated catering was booked in secret and one of our other friends brought along the group gift of a signed AFL jersey which was horribly crammed in a standard photo frame as I couldn't find a correctly sized box frame in a hurry XD
and now several years later it's currently hanging in the cupboard waiting for an actual box frame as the janky frame inevitably broke
The hardest thing was stalling J on the day as unsuspiciously as I could manage as obviously we had to be there at a specific time and he just really really really really really wanted to leave as fast as possible.
