Last Thursday was my Mom's 70th birthday. She is an amazing person--always taking care of everyone...don't know how she does it!
My sister, Joy, and her daughter, Kristen, flew in from Chicago to surprise her. They came in Wednesday night and we drove down on Thursday morning. Mom knew I was coming because Jason was out of town for the weekend. I came into the house, yelled to her that I was here and she said she would be right there. We went into the kitchen and Joy and Kristen sat at the counter.
I went and met my mom in the hall with a balloon we had gotten her. She was following us back to the kitchen and amusing Jacob with the balloon.
We were talking, waiting for her to notice Joy and Kristen. She glanced over into the kitchen and saw them and her face was total and complete surprise.
It was so fun to surprise her!
We spent the rest of the weekend visiting, my Unlce Steve came by to say Happy Birthday. Elizabeth, Joy's oldest, came and hung out. It was very fun.

What a fun surprise for your mom. I am glad you got to celebrate the day with her.
What a cool surprise! I surprised my dad in VA when he turned 60. It was so neat!
Yah, makes me feel all the more left out! :( Way to rub it in.
No, I am glad you all had such a great time!
How fun! I love the pictures of your mom getting surprised!! Priceless.
I wish I could've been there, too! Glad mom was so surprised!
What a fun surprise for your mom! I love your quote about perfection and eternity! I guess I have hope. I always think that Heavenly Father is going to cut the mothers some slack--our kids drive us to insanity.
