Joe's Surprise Birthday Pary

Joe's friends planned a great surprise party for his 25th birthday, which we celebrated a week early. He thought he was getting together with his India leadership team members, but instead was met with a much larger group of us and plenty of food to enjoy.

Supposedly this is an Indian tradition -- the birthday boy gets cake stuffed in his face. Of course, it might have just been a good excuse... =)

Oli: Hey Joe, sorry I missed your surprise party! I almost gave it away in my phone call the night before if you remember. :) But I had to attend a wedding Saturday night, otherwise I would've been there. Happy belated birthday my friend. Thanks Daniel and Katie for posting these pics.
