This past weekend we drove down to the coast to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday. The 3 day celebration started with a surprise spa day on Friday which included a facial, pedicure, hot stone massage, and lunch. Dad decorated the house with black 50th birthday party decorations while Mom had her spa day. Friday evening we had my mom's sister Lynn and her daughter Kelly and my mom's mother "Nona" over for dinner and birthday cake. Dad surprised Mom again with a DVD slideshow with pictures from the last 50 years. It was a tear jerker and very sweet. It really makes you think about how quickly time passes by.
Saturday we had a Birthday Luncheon at Olive Garden with Mom's friends. We had a great time and Mom got some very nice gifts. Saturday evening Nathan's parents came over for a cookout, more cake, and an encore presentation of the Birthday DVD.
After church on Sunday we headed to a Mexican restaurant then back home to open some birthday cards and one last present.
Dad gave Mom a beautiful journey pendant. Then we went for a dip in the neighbor's pool and then had to pack up and head back home.
We took pictures on 2 different cameras and I don't have the other half to post but
we had a great weekend visiting with all our family. We love you Mom and hope you had a great birthday celebration. You definitely don't look 50! I know Dad is glad all this secretive planning is over!
