This year was a pivotal birthday year for my mother n law and I thought we had to do something super fun for it. So I thought how awesome would it be if Joe and his four brothers surprised their Mom, dressed up in suits, and took her to a play and out to dinner. After talking with all the boys everyone was on board and plane tickets were purchased!
All the boys waited on the front door step, with roses in hand and a tiara, they knocked on the door and started to sing Happy Birthday when Susan answered the door!
After the play they all went out for an Italian dinner!
The following day they had a family dinner and my sister n law Julie had one of her friends make this awesome ballerina slipper and shoebox cake. I thought it was adorable!All FIVE boys grew up obsessed with Star Wars and I found this card that played the "Star Wars" theme when you opened it up. Joe still has all of his Star Wars toys, books, memorabilia, etc. I did not like the message the card said (the front of the card said, "A long, long, long time ago, then when you opened it up it said, "You were born"), but after talking with Todd we agreed that the music it played was too perfect and represented everything the boys remember about growing up. Maybe I should have just gotten a generic card and not tried to go down memory lane!
Joe's Grandma Betty was also there for the family dinner! She still looks exactly the same since the first time I met her when she came to visit Joe and his family back when we were in grade school!
