Ali and my dad planned an epic surprise party for my mom's 70th birthday! Charlie flew in from Texas. Kasey was in town and Jack and Lily came to the party. Megan was in town staying with Jenny so she came as well. Plus Betsy, my family and Ali's family which made for the perfect gathering.
My mom and dad had a meeting which helped her not suspect a thing. We set up while they were gone and she was so surprised when she got home!
Her reaction was priceless! During the planning it got really tricky keeping the real plan straight from the fake plan. It was very entertaining covering up and making up stories to trick my mom from knowing the surprise. It was so nice when we actually pulled it off. I was so afraid I would spill the beans.
We had the surprise at 1:30 so it was so nice to have the rest of the afternoon to socialize and play games.
