*Surprise*

I couldn't talk about it, or Momma would have seen it... But we planned a surprise party for Momma's 50th. The party was last night, and mom didn't see it coming...at all! She walked in the door with her sisters after getting Mani/Pedi's together... and we (40 family and friends) filled the stairs... Surprise!! Her: "Ohhhh you guys!!!" (That's a classic Mom line) You can kinda see Amanda and the twins on the right...the tops of their pretty heads at least :) Beautiful Thelma sent this for Momma last week, and we gave it to Momzie to wear last night. She kept replacing the 'Hurrah' with other explicitives. Thanks for the sweet pin Thelma! :) Lol. Amanda and I wrapped this up all pretty (pink toile paper, hallar!) and told Mom to open it last. Lol, she was all excited, thought it was something handmade... nope! She opened the box and flung back laughing, "A CANTELOPE!!---Oh you guys!!" ... here's the background on the Fruit Cemetary. Happy Birthday Momma!!! Glad we surprised you! You deserved this party, you do so many things for everyone...and this time it was your turn to be honored by all of us! It wasn't about your new age, it's about YOU! Because we all love you and wanted to celebrate YOU! See you at 60 ;) haha. PS> 50's the new 30. PPS> You're pretty hot for 50 slash a Grandma!

  4. what an awesome party! your mom sounds like an incredible woman. glad you all had this time together to honor her. the fruit cemetery is TOO funny! i can't believe your bags didn't get to Jessica in time for the event Friday, but at least there's a decent alternative & the editors will receive them in time.

  6. Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, and thank you Thelma for the 50 pin. It was supposed to say, "Oh, sh*$!,oh no I'm 50!" Like I say 50 is the new 30, this is what keeps me from getting depressed about the number. It's all down hill from here.
    Like the 1st picture LA, nice jaw line, no double chin, but not the second one.
    Thanks for the party to my family :)
    Love Momma
