Surprise Birthday Visitor

Alexa asked if I would take Brownie Sheetcake (her favorite) to her Seminary class on her birthday. I made 2 sheetcakes and headed to her class. After her class sang to her and as we were handing out pieces of cake a surprise visitor arrived.
Yep! Cletus Eagle walked into the class with a huge bouquet of birthday balloons! It was quite a shock to her. He proceded to wish her a happy birthday and then preached a bit and had the class cracking up. He finally turned the time over to 'Preacher C' (The Seminary teacher). Alexa was a great sport with it all. She went along with it and didn't get upset by the visitor.
The best part was that her classmates were shocked by this added interuption of their class time.
This was not her first birthday embarrassment either. The day before her birthday the school had an away basketball game. Uncle Mick, one of the coaches, hadn't been able to attend her party on Sunday night. Alexa and Mick have a very complicated love/hate relationship (just kidding - they just LOVE to give each other a hard time). Alexa had told someone he was a 'loser' and didn't come to her party. Mick decided to make it up to her. After the game, on the way back to the school, Mick got the attention of everyone on the bus. He then proceeded to explain that he had been unable to attend a party and wanted to make it up to someone since she was saying 'hurtful' things about him. He then led the basketball team, cheerleaders and officers in Happy Birthday and passed out donuts for everyone!!!
Way to go Mick! You got her good!!! Between Mick and Cletus Eagle I don't think she will soon forget her 15th birthday at school!!!
