Mom-mom's Surprise Party, Part 2


If you didn't read "Mom-mom's Surprise Party, Part 1," please do so now.  Alright!  Now we're all on the same page! 

Instead of numbering the tables, seating for the 110 guests was done by decade (two tables per decade).  The table's decade was denoted by a cutout of Mom-mom's face.  The centerpieces were made using Mom-mom's treasures and memories from that decade.  Jill snuck into her parents' house at times that Mom-mom wasn't there in order to acquire these treasures!

The 1950's


The 1960's


The 1970's


The 1980's


The 1990's


The 2000's

Before the surprise...

"Is she here yet?"

Waiting patiently




All smiles





The surprise!  You can see and feel the excitement and shock on Mom-mom's face!






I only have a picture of me with the birthday girl from behind!


Surrounded by loved ones

After the surprise... friends and family!  The fun begins...


Mother and daughter

The DJ's were fantastic!






Friends as close as family



Cake!




The old singing-into-the-thumb routine

Shake it!


Oh, boy!



"I think I am the youngest person here."

Happy Birthday, Mom-mom!
