Margaret "Go-Go" Gochez Hosts Party At AREA 51! Family and friends gather to celebrate this special lady's birthday.

When Margaret Gochez has a birthday it's a lucky day for her close friends and family. Margaret knows how to party! And there isn't a more giving or loving person on the planet. Margaret threw herself her own birthday party, but it really wasn't for her. She wanted all those close to her to have a time to share some laughs, some food and some great music and dancing. Margaret's party was all of that and then some. There were games, stories, live entertainment and a rockin' dance floor for most of the night. Victor of Tacos La Paloma put on a great Mexican buffet with his cooked to order dishes and had the grill smokin' all night.

It's always fun to be a part of a family celebration but this one was very special...because of a very special and giving young lady. Happy Birthday, Margaret "Go-Go" Gochez!


The Hulk had it right..."The Party's Here!"



Margaret, second from the right, welcoming
family and friends.



I think Erica and Drew had as much fun as the
guests. Think about it..they get paid to party!

Victor caters so many parties here we might
have to set him up with his own kitchen!





Margaret welcoming about 60 of her closest
friends and family and going over the nights
activities.



One of the games was like musical chairs but it
was played using a lottery ticket. As the ticket
was passed around the table, when the music
stopped, you were eliminated if you were holding
the ticket.



The final two. Don't get stuck with the ticket!



...check out these desserts!





Margaret had everyone on the dance floor and
it rocked all night long.

Margaret's sister was leading the way most of
the night.

What's up with these young guys? Can't hang?

....photo op!











I don't think Margaret stopped smiling all night.
Happy Birthday, Margaret! You are a blessing
to many!

Todd Harris Surprised At AREA 51! Friends and family celebrate with a "Rockin' Time."

Surprise parties are a really good time for everyone except those planning them. They can be nerve racking and a lot of work. And the surprise party for Todd Harris was no exception. Todd's girlfriend Yasmine and his parents, Diane and Dave, did what had to be done to surprise Todd for his 30th birthday and it wasn't easy. But it was productive as Todd took it upon himself to do some work around his parents house and clean out the garage getting ready for his big birthday bash. Or that's what HE thought. So when Yasmine pulled into AREA 51 where a group of his friends and family were waiting, they had him!

It was a "Rock N' Roll" time, with Todd's favorite music from the 80's spinnin', great food, fantastic desserts, and even a little high octane excitement as Todd climbed into the BG Oil Chevelle and "lit the candles." It was an awesome night with a beautiful family. Happy Birthday, Todd. And well done Yasmine and Harris family!

...and it was a "Rockin' Time."

Todd's entrance.



Yasmine had Todd on the GPS looking up an
address as they pulled in so he was totally
surprised.

Okay, NOW I get it!!!



Yasmine giving a thumbs up. "Mission Accomplished!"





...this is what it's all about.

Victor and "Tacos La Paloma" did a great job as
always. No one left hungry!







Dad seemed to be having a pretty good time...
and ended up with a clean garage!!







Yasmine was a pretty busy girl all night making
the rounds and was the perfect hostess.

Work! Work! Work! I don't know who has more
fun at these parties...the guests or the staff!!

These were GOOD!!









Light those candles, Todd!

It wasn't hard getting this group on the dance
floor. Hey, it shouldn't be at their age!!



The "Last Call" group at the end of the evening.
You guys rock!
