For a couple of months now, there has been a huge surprise in the works! We knew Bmaw's 60th birthday was coming up, so when we asked Paw what we should do, we were surprised to find he already had a plan! He knew exactly who he wanted to invite, where to have it, what color he wanted, etc.! Once he planned all of that, it was pretty easy from there! We were surprised by all of the people who ended up coming - Bmaw's brothers flew in to surprise her from Arizona and Washington, Cloud & Rita flew in from Costa Rica, and tons of her high school classmates came from West Texas! We kept it a surprise down to her arrival, and it was a blast! Mom planned and picked out all of the decorations, Cloud bought 5 dozen white roses for the party, Shade & Caity helped decorate, helped with the cake, and picked up people from the airport, Blu wrote a song - it was definitely a joint effort and turned out amazing! It was a night we'll all remember!
