Devin & Brittney Griffin
A Ton of FriendsNatalie (girl on couch on our left side of view,) & Brittney stayed but the rest of the girls left after the video.
More FriendsMark, Jesse (the partner in Crime,)Trevor, Kyler and his friends
All the Adults: Jim Griffin in the white shirt, Tyler (the camera man,) Matt in the FSU shirt, Erik, and in the background Michelle and Trina (Erik and Jim's wives.)Matt and his friends planned Devin's surprise party. It was great, I only had to pull things together, buy the supplies and they did the rest!
Here is what happened on his special day:
Matt took Devin and his friend Jesse to lunch at Wendys. During lunch, Ethan, Trevor and Paul (with Tyler as camera man in tow,) kidnapped Devin and Jesse and took them to the Halladay's house while they were blindfolded and interrogated. While the interrogation was going on Devin was told that he had to complete 5 tasks and that each task would take a certain amount of time and if all were completed in time then he would get $8 a task.
After the interrogation, Jim Griffin dressed as a chauffer gave devin his first task and his first shirt- orange with "Brittney give me a kiss" on it. HIs task was to go into the Halladay's house (where Michelle was having a YW activity and 15 girls were there,) and ask Brittney for a kiss. It was funny because Brittney was in the joke and made it really hard for him.
Task #2 Devin as taken to the city park where Matt had taken our wicker table and a chair, Kyler and his friends to serve Devin a food that he really hates. He had to eat a Hamburger with Ketchup. This may not be hard for most, but Devin really hates Ketchup. He almost barfed 2 times once on Tyler! Tyler told him that if he did barfed on him, he was going to be cleaning it up himself and then he was going to be pounded.
Task #3 was paint balling through and obsticle course where Ethan, Trevor and Paul set themselves up to fire at devin while he went through the course, with Jesse (and Tyler filming!)
Task #4 was Devin writing a poem at Jesse's house and then driven to Lin's the grocery store where he had to read it to 3 different women. This was probably the easiest because like his mother, he not afraid to talk to anyone!
Task #5 was the funniest task of all. Devin was given 2 choices. He could use the $8 to buy me an article of clothing, he could keep the $8 but he would have to try on women's clothing and so what does Devin (who really needs gas money,) pick? He chooses to keep the $8 and try on the clothes. But he had to go into the department store wearing a Hot Pink shirt that said " I wear women's clothing!" I had called a old ward member- Britney (yes, another Britney!) who work at Christensen's and was working that day and asked her to steer devin towards the most ugly and most girly clothes she had. Devin thought she look familiar but didn't recognize her! She lead him to some really nice stuff that is really sext for teenagers, and Devin had to try the clothes on.
As Jim was outside waiting for the boys to come out of the store, he noticed a guy carrying a really big camera and asked him if he would help play a joke on a kid who was on a 16 year old birthday scavenger hunt. The guy was game and went in to the store covering as a Newspaper report writing an article about EMO's (gothic dressing guys who wear very girly, tight pants.) He noticed Devin (who Jim had described to the guy,) and started taking pictures as Devin walked out of the dressing room with a floral skirt and a spaghetti strap floral tank top. It was really funny. The guy told Jim he would send him copies of the pictures when he had them developed. It will be interesting to see the pictures. Devin got a lot of really weird looks from customers of the store which made it even more funny.
Then after it was all over, Jim drove the boys to our house where all his friends (girls and guys,) were waiting for him. He was very surprised and went very red when he saw Brittney there (the kissing Brittney.) Then they watched the video, after that they ate cake, snacked, ate little caesar's pizza and then most of the girls except for Natalie and Brittney and a few of the guys left. But devin's closest friends stayed played games and then went to the Griffen's to watch a movie!
Devin was very surprised by the whole day and had a lot of fun after all the embarrasement was over!!! I secretly think that he like all of the attention though!
