Mom and Dad turned 50! Mom's birthday is the 16 and dad's is the 19. So yep mom married a young one. ;) Us kids made a little dinner for mom and set up Christmas for her. They left to Idaho before we got to celebrate dad's birthday. We have had this surprise party for while we were in Idaho in the works for awhile and they had no clue. Dad talked to his brother and said that his birthday wasn't exciting and then Rob called grandma and was so mad at us for not doing something special. eeekkk we all felt so bad, but at the same time so excited that he still had no clue. We thought for sure somehow it would get spoiled. The day came down and Grandpa was very adamant about getting mom and dad out of the house for a break. He wanted to take them out, they were a bit reluctant thinking they would have a pedicure then be running errands. Our friends pretended to start the drive home, people showed up and we hid cars in the neighbors driveways. All of us kids got to work. We had help from our cousins and aunt too. We had lots of balloons, quotes, lists from things in 1966, candy gram, a 50 sign made from their pictures throughout their whole life, cakes, candy, and lots of love! We all got ready with our noisemakers and gave grandpa the sign! When they showed up they were COMPLETELY SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did it!!!! Dad kept saying where are the cars. Mom was so surprised she couldn't even walk into the room. It took three people to light all 50 of their candles. We love you mom and dad so unbelievably much. We are all so blessed and thankful for you in our lives. You are seriously the best. I am in awe of how much love and life you have had for your first 50 years or half a century and can't wait to make more memories with you for the next!
