Mary Beth's Surprise Birthday party

Just hours after Elise's shower, Justin and I zoomed off to Rosatti's for a surprise dinner in honor of Mary Beth's birthday.  I got to meet some of their neighbors that they do a quarterly progressive dinner with on occasion.   As well as caught up with the Dethlefsens and Hermansens.

Lots of pizza was consumed.  We try to eat this pizza every time we come into town and are around Derek's folks.  It's very close to Chicago pizza, which is a Michaelis fave.

Tom, who arranged this last minute get together, brought Mary Beth's favorite flower.   Love it when these men think of the small details, when this normally is not a strong point in their personalities.  Shows his love for his bride!

The crew.  I made Ryan get in the corner with me.  Getting these boys to get in pictures will never change.  It was great to be in town to be a part of this special occasion!
