Blake's 16th Birthday

For Blake's 16th Birthday, we had a surprise Murder Mystery Party for him. It was so much fun and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to host events, dinners, or whatever. We all had the best time!!! The murder took place in the kitchen, so we set up the scene as best we could. Obviously, there is the body in the floor, a knocked over chair, and we put up the yellow caution tape throughout the kitchen. It was so fun!
The cake - it was really good (and HUGE!)
Kat was the aunt of Anthony (the victim) and Dylan was the security guard for the family. He was an old man, so we painted his hair gray. I tried to do his eyebrows too, but that didn't go so well. He had gray paint everywhere!
Funny - Kat was the murderer and Dylan the accomplice!
Linda the housekeeper, Dee the executive assistant and Kat, the jealous Aunt!
Marty was the chauffer
Little old man, Dylan.
I was the detective and knew everything beforhand so I could keep the game flowing properly.
Grandee read some books to Logan while we were waiting on Blake to arrive.
Aunt Sara was an artist and Anthony's fiance who was having an affair with the chauffer - it was so funny!
We had tons of food!!!
All of us gathered in the kitchen waiting on Blake to walk through the door.
Chappell was the chef!
Uncle Yon was the ex - Butler who was fired for stealing.
Still waiting...
Here he comes!
SURPRISE!!!!
He had no clue that we were doing this for him and he was so happy. He must have thanked me ten times throughout the night. He even asked me if he had told me that he always wanted to do a murder mystery party (which he hadn't). Apparently, he was just telling one of his friend the other day that he wanted to do one.
Still in shock!
Logan was so excited to see his biggest brother!
Happy Birthday to you....
Make a wish!
Present time!
It's hard to tell, but he got a new gun for hunting with his dad or Patrick.
This was a serious discussion on the proper handling of the gun.
And, the case to go with it.
Happy Birthday, Blake.
We all love you so much and were so happy to be able to spend your 16th birthday with you.
Lots and lots of love,
Patrick, Mom, Dylan, Logan, and Little Hamp
