This year my Mom turned 60, so we thought it would be fun to have a big surprise party to celebrate her birthday and just how wonderful she is! If anyone deserves it, it would be her! October 24
th was her birthday so
that's the day we had it. Elise, Natalie & I put the whole thing together. I have to admit we had some really cute decorations and good food. The whole thing turned out perfect!
This was Elise's idea. Everyone wrote my mom a note and then Elise put it in this book. It turned out really cute!

Natalie made a
dvd of some of my mom pictures and called it "From 0 to 60" It was hard getting the pictures without my parents finding out. Elise & I had to play robbers a couple of times. We went to my parents house when they were gone and took the pictures. It was pretty funny. The
dvd turned out so cute and my mom loved it.
SASSY 60
For dessert, instead of the
traditional birthday cake we did doughnuts cause
that's my mom's
favorite.

This was my favorite costumes of the night. No one knew that my parents were gonna dress up so it was hilarious to see them in costume. My mom was a man and my dad was a woman.
5 years ago on Thanksgiving Day my 5 lbs 8 oz little Turkey was born. It is so sad to me that Brinley is already 5. It seems like yesterday I brought her home from the hospital. She is getting so big, she's a big girl now!! Happy 5th Birthday June Bug!! We love you!!!!
On Oct. 29th Brinley had a Preschool Field trip at Gardner Village. I've never gone to Gardner Village around Halloween time. They decorate it so cute and are really creavtive. I had a good time being able to spend time with just Brinley. 
Special Grandma
