The party was a go and mom was completed surprised. We threw mom a little reverse surprise party for her 50th birthday. She thought she was just going out with Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Bill, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Barry & Dad. She arrived at the destination at 6 and thought nothing of it as they sat and had a drink and grabbed some pizza. Everyone else was instructed to start showing up at 6:30. Aunt Mary Jo was the first there, but mom didn't think much of it since Aunt Cindy was there. Gary, Jessica and I were frantically trying to get there for the actually surprise part (leaving Brighton at 5 and having to drive across Hall Rd. is a nightmare any time but even worse when you have somewhere to be). I was quite surprised that we were the next ones threw the door. Jessica had a bunch of balloons and Gary had the cake. As soon as we walked through the door it dawned on mom what was up. Of course she started crying and saying she didn't want a party, but a milestone like 50 deserves to be celebrated. Soon after everyone else came rolling through the door, and with each new person it was like a surprise all over again. We enjoyed some pizza and then a few games of shuffle board.
