It was truly a surprise! I tried to download the video but it just wouldn't cooperate. Anyway I was so scared when I opened the door and everyone yelled surprise that I threw my purse into the room and stumbled and stammered at the door until I finally figured out what was happening. It scared me to death I even started to cry. The kids had invited many of our friends - and they came, even on the day before Thanksgiving. The kids all contributed to a spread of great food. There was a beautiful cake, yummy cheese balls, pigs in a blanket ( probably because I love hot dogs), delicious punch, fruit and veggies and red balloons and it was just a fun party. The weather was terrible and I'd called the kids and told them they didn't have to come for Thanksgiving if the weather was too bad but little did I know they were already in Utah, working to make all the last minute plans for this party. The grandkids all sang a song for me and it was just a grand event. I had on a dirty shirt so after I got my wits about me I went and changed my clothes. My good friend who knows me well asked if I'd wet my pants when I came in the door to such a surprise. No I did not, I just wanted to look better at my own party. My actual birthday was the Sunday before Thanksgiving and Keith invited Scott's & Melissa's families over for a fun dinner he prepared so in my mind my birthday was over. They called that my pretend birthday party. They all went in together and bought me an iPod Touch. I'm still trying to learn how to use it but am enjoying it a lot. THANKS YOU SO MUCH TO MY FABULOUS FAMILY! you created a treasured memory. I'm always saying how much I like surprises but after my reaction to this they may queston that passion.
