It was a secret we didn't think we could all keep for so long, but after months of planning, my dad, brother and I pulled off an amazing surprise party for my mom's 70
th birthday. My mom was totally blown away by the turn out of family and friends - a testament to what an incredible person she is and how much she means to all of us. Over a hundred people came, we had a specialty cake made (above), a balloon twister, a tarot card reader, a DVD of her life, and had it catered. It was a very special day. We love you Mom!
