On August 16th Josh's Mom turned 50! We can not live without her, so we wanted to make sure she knew how special she is to us. We put together a surprise party for her and invited all of her closes friends from over the years.
I thought her cake turned out great!
The birthday girl with her cake!
We tricked her and made her think we were just going out to eat and had her meet us at our house. As soon as she walked in, Reed said, "Gigi Uncle B is here and it is a surprise I'm not suppose to tell you!" So part of the surprise was already out of the bag! Branden had traveled down from Missouri and had come over earlier in the day to see Josh and Reed. I was out getting ready for the party, but when I found out I told Josh that was a horrible idea. He said that he had had a talk with Reed and he felt like he wouldn't say anything. Poor Reed he just couldn't hold it in, he literally lasted 2 minutes after Gigi got here. So Jeannie just thought the surprise was Branden coming down. Little did she know 15 more people were waiting to say, "Happy Birthday!"
The whole gang!
Reed brought Gigi a special piece of cake!
There were also lots of great gifts!
Of course Reed was right in the middle of the present opening!
Jeannie/Gigi is the most giving person I know! She is always there to watch Reed & Graham anytime we need her and even more just so Josh and I can have a date night. I hope she always knows how special she is to us and that we literally could have never raised the two precious boys we have without her.
