surprise party

Our trip to Tennessee was pretty close to Michael's mom's 60th birthday so Krista, Angela and I planned a surprise party for her. We spent the week crafting, cooking and baking to prep for the occasion. Based on the look on her face, I think we pulled it off.

Krista was the main party planner and thought of all the details. She found these cute cupcake toppers and personalized them with Patsy's dog Bella. The cake was done locally by a friend and Krista found the napkins online.

Each table had a personalized centerpiece with Patsy's picture and instead of gifts, the family did gift cards.

Patsy loved all the personal touches and had a really great time at the party. I'm glad the three of us were able to pull this off.

Addison is willing to take pictures if there is a cupcake involved.

Since our family photo shoot the night before didn't go as planned I hoped we could get a good family picture. We're not dolled up, but that's okay. I call these success.

My little family. I love them to pieces.

It's almost a miracle that I got all of the grand kids to look in the same direction and smile. It helps if you promise a silly face picture afterwards.

Happy 60th Birthday Patsy!
