4 Going on 40
So Here's What Happened
Sascha decided the perfect gift for Aaron's 40th and Romik's (golden) 4th birthdays would be forcing them to host everyone they know for an entire weekend.
Aaron just wanted to quietly turn 40 with denial, beer and videogames. Romik wanted Liverpool FC cupcakes.
But Sascha had a vision of dragging you all to Madison for a "legendary birthday weekend." And when Sascha has a vision, the universe has no choice but to comply.
We hope you like Madison.
