Surprise party

Today we had the surprise party for my sister. She knew something was up when she received a birthday card declaring "Sorry I missed your party". Her birthday was last month. Though she didn't know when or where so she was surprised. My brother-in-law had my Mom visit their place a couple days and his parents came down to have dinner during my sister's lunch break from a class she is taking. Apparently it is an all day class. I can't recall what she said she was taking. There were about 40 people in attendence. Relatives and neighbors mostly. Her old college roommate was there with her family, her kids helped my niece and sister open presents. My sister commented it was a sedate party. People came later when people were leaving. Then it was time to be going. We grabbed the stuff. A niece decided to pummel my baby niece with the balloons so I jumped in and started bopping the balloons back at my niece. We even popped one hitting it at the same and freaked my baby niece. Miss Bossypants (baby niece) ordered us to stop hitting the balloons cuz we will pop more but we ignored her and kept hitting balloons at each other. My aunt commented balloons are not meant for boxing. Then we got our coats on and feet wet since it was snowing all day. My two nieces rode in my car. Someone asked if I asked permssion to take my niece home. I said I don't think my sister would mind if I kidnapped her kid for 20 minutes. I did tell their parents they would ride to my sister's with me. We all had the same destination.

Got to sister's house and my baby niece asked why were here. I think she thought we were going to my place. My sister, sister, brother-in-law, and mom made back after us. Once settled in my sister's living room and fighting over my baby niece's video game, my sister didn't feel like cooking for everybody so we went out. A Chinese buffet with pizza, garlic bread, jello, salad bar, sushi, crab legs, shrimp, noodle soups, rice, pastries, other stuff I can't identify, and soft serve ice cream for dessert. My mom went up to my sister and asked where the American food was, there were 5 buffets tables to visit. When my baby niece wanted ice cream after claiming she was full, my sister said she has to finished eating her plate before ice cream. So my baby niece grabs the food off and set it on her napkin. Then she purposely dropped jello on the floor to "empty" her plate as commanded. I blurted out I saw that and sister asked what she did. She watched her more carefully eating her fruit and vegetables, and polishing off the jello. She said finish eating her food, not drop it all on the floor. Then we opened our fortune cookies. Mine said my friends will surprise me. I asked if that was good or bad. Then went back and I finished laundry. My sister got out the Easter decorations and baby niece tossed the plastic grass all over the floor. Sister ordered her to pick it up and put it in the baksets, which she did not. No stories, no snack, no mommy lying in bed with her for her bad behavior, then ordered her to bed. Baby niece cries her eyes out and my sister tosses the pj's at us to put her to bed cuz she is tired. My other sister picked up the grass. I think she picked up the eggs and flowers to get a snack of yogurt. My laundry done, I went home. My baby niece was brushing with the other niece when left. Took Precious outside with everything all wet and cold. Now time for bed. I'm tired. Later.
