So I got him out of the house by asking him to run a few errands for me that would take a couple hours to do. Then he stopped by my brother and sister-in-law's house to "help them plan the building of their garage shelves". (Thanks again E'Shell!) She kept him there until I texted her and said we were ready. Then I disabled the garage door (by pressing the "lock" button), so he had to come in the front door. We crammed over 30 people in our front room and waited for him to walk in. Funny thing was, I always have the front door locked, so he didn't even try to open it. He knocked, Claire knocked, they rang the doorbell...so finally we just opened the door, turned on the lights and yelled "Surprise!" He was shocked! Here's the sequence of pics (take note of Claire's face - she seems so confused and slowly starts to catch on to what's happening)...
This is the only pic I got of the party...its hard being hostess and photographer at the same time...
Thanks again to everyone who came! We have such wonderful friends.
Happy birthday Nate...I hope it was a memorable one!

What a fun party. I love how in the sequence of pictures, Nate's face gets redder and redder. That would totally be me. Your invites were adorable and it looks like the party was a success! Happy 30th Nate!
