surprise!

Because I was visiting Kate last weekend, I missed a joint suprise party for my mom's 65th and sister Chris' 40th birthdays. They each thought it was a surprise party for the other. The theme was a rockin' luau, and everyone lip-synched to a song. Dave took these pictures. I love them. It looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm sorry I missed it, but I'd previously made plans with Kate to visit that weekend.

Yesterday was my Mom's and cousin Emma's birthdays, and today's my Aunt Jo Ann's. Happy Birthday! Here's Mom, Emma, and Olivia (who shares my birthday) at Emma's 1-year birthday party on Sunday at Cedar Creek Park.
