Birthday surprise.

Since there is nothing my mom loves more than having our family all together (except maybe Christmas, she REALLY loves Christmas), Jordan, Jill and I plotted a surprise visit to Illinois for her birthday.

She was surprised all right, though I'm not sure why. We were trying to be quiet and hidden out of sight when she and my dad returned home from church on Sunday, but Calvin was screaming bloody murder (sick of the car seat after six hours, I guess) and my parents came in through the garage, where my brother's Suburban was parked. Somehow neither of these things registered in my mother's brain, because she was genuinely shocked when she walked in and saw us.

It was a quick trip — we got there at noon on Sunday and left before noon on Tuesday — but it was so great to be together to celebrate our beautiful mom on her birthday. We spent the day eating, laughing, playing games, and just hanging out together. Oh, and we threw her a spectacular birthday dinner, complete with party hats and crepe paper.

I love my family.

Glad you had fun with your Mama. The party decor is cute and so is Cal in his hat. Love!
