It started with Greg and I brainstorming ideas of what we could do for my mom for her 50th birthday...we both decided a surprise party at Nicky and Zak's house would be the best. I dont think my mom has ever been given a surprise party in her whole life, so we thought it would be perfect! For every holiday and every birthday my mom is the one that is working her butt off to make sure it is PERFECT. She tries so hard to make everyone happy, which in turn makes her happy. I dont know a more generous person than my beautiful mom. She gives and gives, and never expects anything in return! What a wonderful woman she is!
I talked to the family and everyone was on board with throwing her a surprise party. I am so blessed to have the family I do. Everyone was so willing to help and do what they could to make the day special for my mom (even Cael Buddy signed grandmas card for her). We planned everything throughout the week, then finally the day came. After church Greg had to "stop by Nick and Zak's to drop Zak's glasses off to him" then the next thing we knew, she was walking in the door and everyone was yelling "SURPRISE!!" The look on her face was priceless. It was a happy, yet confused look. She couldnt believe what we had pulled off!
With a bright idea from Nicky and Brooke's expertise we decided to all go in on a table that my mom had been wanting from Black Goose. When she saw the table she screamed and started pulling off the wrapping (table cloth) as fast as she could! She looked like a little kid on Christmas morning. I dont think I have ever seen her be more excited to get a gift! It was so fun watching her excitement. She was so blown away by what her family had done for her....which doesnt even come close to what she really deserves. This birthday will definitely be one that all of us remember. Thanks to the help of all my family for making this one of the best birthday's for my mom!
