It finally worked!! Here is the picture we took with everybody on my birthday!! What fun!

Mom's Birthday

I thought mom would've put something on here by now about how much she loved her birthday. I know we had fun surprising her! And boy was she surprised. I was surprised by how upset some people were that they were not in on the whole thing. I guess you can't please everyone...

It was so hard being in the hotel with her Fri. night and Sat. morning. Especially when she said "I guess we should've had a party or something" I nearly lost it right then. Plus Dad kept calling on the cell phone to check where we were.

Anyway, I think the party was a big success. I especially loved watching mom as she saw all the different people who kept coming to see her, since she didn't know who we had invited. It was a fun weekend with everyone, but too short as always. She said she was totally brain dead at work on Monday from all of the activities of the weekend. I think she was back to normal by Tuesday, though.

Sophie and I enjoyed the rest of the week with mom and dad. I hope we didn't leave things too chaotic for them and that we didn't keep them from getting all their work done. Sophie had us play foosball and Wii for FHE Monday night and I think Dad lost at least an hour and a half to that. I think maybe it was good for him to get a bit of a break

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for being there for mom, and for all of the help to make the party so great! I know she won't forget it for a long time!
