Surprise!

My mom turned 60 this year, (on September 1st) so we (Andrea, Amy, Kim, Lori and I) decided that we wanted to throw her a surprise party.  My mom is one of the most selfless people I know.  She does so much for everyone else and we decided that she deserved to be completely spoiled for one night by family and friends.  (Sorry if we missed anyone we tried to invite everyone)  Luckily my dad was able to get mom out of the house and we were able to go on without any hitch.  We sure missed Amy and Mike but were glad that baby came and everything was alright.

Lori, and Kim were the master party planners.  We had 3 kinds of yummy soups, salads, and for dessert we made applesauce cake.  We like usual had way to much food, but having too much is better than not enough right?  I helped with the cake making, and spray painting of the centerpieces that were pictures of mom.  But the youngest did most of the work.   The weather decided not to cooperate and so the plan of having it in my parents backyard didn't work, but I think the church worked out just fine.    

Mom was surprised and hit my dad with her purse, and true mom fashion she started crying.  She is so loved and appreciated.  She is the best mom  ever, she makes beautiful quilts and pillowcases, and gives them away.  We love you mom!  We can't say thank you enough you are the best!
