My Mom turns....

I said I would refrain from making comments about how 50 seems so old and how 50 is the halfway point of a century,I said I would refrain from even using the word/number 50, so instead, I will show you some pictures of the surprise party we had for my mom turning......

If any of you girls know anything about men, you know they don't pay attention to details, if they did we might start to question their masculinity :) That being said, my dad mentioned to me several weeks prior to my mom's .... birthday about have a surprise party and I said yes, we need to do something since it his her ..... I never heard anything more until about 2 weeks before her birthday, when I went to him and said that we needed to plan something or it was going to be too late. After much prying on my part, we put a few plans into place and started making phone calls. Surprise parties always seem to do best when you plan at the last minute anyways, so it all worked out.


My mom, the ..... year old, had absolutely no idea when she walked thru the doors- The first person she saw was me, holding a camera (go figure) and I could tell by her expression she thought it was a surprise of just a few family members....once she had made it all the way thru the door she soon found out otherwise. There were about 40 family members and friends ready to celebrate her turning .....


Here she is seeing me- thinking it was just us there



Here she is seeing that there were a few other people there, including her sister...

Here she is realizing "Wow, there are a lot of people!"

Happy ........ Birthday Mom!
