50 and Fabulous!

This weekend we celebrated my mom's 50th birthday!  We surprised her by driving down and threw her a big party.  She was shocked to say the least.  It took her about a day to recover from the surprise!  We drove down on Thursday night and stayed with Chris' parents so that I could be there to set up on Friday for the party.  It was hard knowing that my mom was only a few minutes down the road and not being able to go by and see her...but totally worth the surprise of it!
 Her friend told her she wanted to take her to dinner and when she showed up to meet her we were all there to surprise her!  There were about 75+ people there and we had such a great time!  My mom's friend from high school came all the way from south Georgia as well as many family members.  I know that it meant so much to my mom to see so many people she cared about there to celebrate with her.  Mom stood up and announced that she felt like she was in heaven because everyone she loved was there.  HAHA!  I love her. She really is a wonderful woman.  She is the most generous person I know and would do anything for anyone.  She has always put others first and is a great example of Christ's love.  There is no one like her and I am so blessed to be her daughter.  I was so glad to be able to show her how much she is loved by throwing a party for her!  We had so much fun.  Here are a few pictures we took in the "photo booth".
