It's A SURPRISE!!

This past weekend we had a surprise 60th birthday party for my sweet mom!! :) Our family traveled to Lake Charles for the festivities....and it was a huge success!! Mom was TOTALLY surprised and she even got a little teary eyed when she saw all of her family and friends....and her grandbabies. :) Too sweet.

Good times!! And very fun to celebrate and have some BBQ, beer, and dancing with 80 or so friends and family!! YAY!! :) So good to see everyone...and thank you so much for coming!! :) We love you Mom! :)
