Happy Birthday Mom!



I was able to surprise my Mom big time today. I've been planning this for about 3 weeks now and it's hard to keep a secret that long! Aunt JJ and Katie even came down from Neosho for her party! She got to the house around 11:30 (Dad and even Dr. Mike's office was trying to kill some time with her). I opened the door and everyone hollered, "SURPRISE!" ...all except Katie and Aunt JJ...they were hiding. We finally were able to get Mom into the kitchen to start fixing her plate when Aunt JJ came up from behind. Mom was so surprised when she turned around, and of course the tears started flowing again. Katie was sitting at the table and Mom spotted her too! Dad even came for a little bit. It was a wonderful time of surprise and fellowship. These ladies are so special to me and Mom...it was nice to be able to surprise her!!
