Secret

Mikey knows a secret that Will doesn’t know. Look at his sweet face! He is just beyond excited about this. Mind you, with words, he could not tell us. Emotions are tricky to label and express. Still, there’s no question! He is thrilled to be throwing a surprise party for his favorite person in the world.

We’ll share the entry about the party later this month, but I won’t keep you in suspense…we totally pulled it off and it was a team effort! As always, Mr. Mike was so happy to be included in the planning and the fun.
