My Busy, Busy Day: Part II

Now, my wonderful mother is celebrating her 50th birthday on the 20th.  So, my dear sisters and I secretly planned her birthday party.  We planned for weeks, sending out invitations, baking lots of cookies, making decorations, and even got my dad to get her out of the house.  So even though I wanted to go to bed immediately upon getting home from my friend's wedding, I starting prepping food for my mom's birthday dinner.  I have a wonderful sister, Malinda, who bought all the food and starting making dinner before I got there.  We finished our preparations and headed to Alpine.

My other wonderful sister, Adrianne, had been busy getting the house ready for everyone.  We finished all our preparations, with some other help from wonderful aunts, everything was ready.  We all waited patiently for the birthday girl and got a great reaction.

However, she had her suspicions.  One, my dad brought her to the movies.  My dad NEVER goes to the movies.  I don't think he's been to one in years and years.  Two, saying things like, "We'll we've got to be busy Saturday afternoon," and "The mouse is in the trap," around her usually arises suspicions.  But, she was surprised that there was a whole party for her.

So, we enjoyed dinner, watched a slideshow about my mom's life (thanks Adrianne), ate cake and ice cream, and roasted my mom a little.  Happy 50th Birthday Mom!
