Last weekend we surprised my mom with a birthday party. (The surprise backfired a tiny bit because she saw Nathan and I at the Jazz game the night before her surprise party. I didn't want her to know we were in town so it would be a super big surprise... but it all still worked out in the end.)
I recruited one of my best friends, Jenny, to help make the birthday cake. She made it the night before and then we decorated it before the party. IT TURNED OUT PERFECT!!! I cannot take any credit for the beautiful cake. Jenny is amazing! Thanks times a million Jenny!
While I was watching the cake decorating, Nathan worked on my mom's birthday present. I stained it a couple of days before, and he did all of the hard work making the lines perfect. I took pictures of him working on it, and of Jenny decorating the cake, but sadly the card wasn't in the camera and I didn't notice until it was too late.
Once the cake and present were finished I had my Dad and brother get my Mom out of the house so we could decorate and make dinner. I worked on dinner (Chicken Cordon Bleu) while Nathan and my siblings decorated. Everything turned out great!
My mom got home and everyone had to help with the groceries while Nathan and I hid. She was very surprised when she got inside. We enjoyed a yummy dinner and birthday cake, and played an intense game of scum. We all had a great time celebrating!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
