Wow! What a day I had Sunday. I spent all of last week preparing for a big surprise party for my Mom's seventy-seventh birthday. Sunday finally arrived and I tool her to the Casino in Erie, along with me younger sister, Sarah. Sarah texted madly from the back seat to let everyone here at the house know where we were on our journey home. We arrived and Mom had to go potty, so everyone that was hidden in the dining room had to wait a little longer to yell Surprise! When Mom entered the dining room she was sure shocked to find the whole family there! The candles on her cake were lit and she blew them out. My hubby, Rick said that they had all been waiting for a while for our arrival so they should all go outside. Everyone went out back on the deck.
My Sisiter, Sarah asked me for a Qtip so I went to get her a Qtip before going outside. When I stepped outside I was surely shocked. Everyone yelled "Surprise"! There were even more people, besides the family out back. It turned out to be a double surprise party!
Rick had invited some of my clown friends and two of them even came in costume! They were out in my yard entertaining my neices and my grandson. It was a wonderful party!
I got lots of wonderful cards and gifts. Sarah got me a new birdbath and I even got a stripper! Not what you might think, it strips fabric! The best kind of stripper! I also got some nice gift certificates that Ill have to find the time to spend. It was a wonderful day.
I can't imagine how Rick and Sarah kept it all a secret. Mom knew there was a party for me, I knew there was a party for Mom and Rick and Sarah had to be very careful what they said to whom! They pulled it off! Sarah and her husband John stayed late after the party and helped to clean up. That was maybe the best gift of all. Happy Birthday to me!
