It was my mother's birthday this week and what better way to surprise her than to just show up in person!? Something about going to Miami, I always want to dress for the beach! A romper and sandals always does the trick, ha.
Chris and I wound up driving down day off, granted we didn't get there until about 5 hours later than we planned to. We schemed with my brother to keep her in the backyard as we snuck inside with her cake to pop it into the fridge. As we ran outside, we came up behind her and yelled - SURPRISE! She turned around and broke out into tears, ha! It lasted a couple minutes so we kinda worried if they were still good tears. She reassured us they were once she could speak again. That night we all cooked her a yummy steak dinner, then surprised her again with the cake hidden from the fridge. Note - if you EVER use sparkler candles, know they will go out within just 10 seconds before you can even finish the birthday song, haha.
It wound up being a fantastic night with family, well worth the 3 hour drive, and everyone's help at the surprise made it a piece of cake.
