Mom and Dad's Surprise Parties

Both of my parents turned 50 this year, so we decided to plan surprise parties. My dad's birthday was first, so we had a party all planned for the week after his birthday. Unfortunately we couldn't keep it a surprise as my dad's father passed away and we were having his funeral that same week. My mom decided to tell my dad to make sure he still wanted to have it. It was a great party and we had a fabulous turn out. I am a sucky host and forgot to get my camera out that day. I guess I will forgive myself since we had just buried my grandpa that morning.

Next was mom's birthday. We tried to keep it a secret, but mom somehow guessed the day we were having it. Oh well, it was still fun to have a get together with everyone. My nephews attacked both of my parents with silly string the moment they came home.

We got my mom a cute crown and necklace to wear.

I think they enjoyed the parties. They were able to visit and enjoy the company.

I am so thankful for my parents. They have been so supportive to me my entire life. I don't think they ever missed a ball game my entire high school career. They have always been there for me when I have had ups and downs. They have helped watch my kids numerous times, I couldn't even begin to count. My kids love living next door-although I'm sure my parents love having breaks away from them.
Happy 50th Birthdays!
We Love You!
