Mom's 60th Birthday Surprise!!!

All the siblings came to Seattle and surprised mom for her 60th Birthday. Bryan lives there so he doesn't count, but Tami, Angie and I flew into Seattle on her birthday! Bryan walked into her house at 10pm that night and said that he wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday. Then he told her he had a Birthday Surprise out on her porch. She opened the door and I was standing there. It was so fun to pull one over on my mom who deserves soooo much. Then we started singing happy birthday to her and in walks Angie and Tami. Once again, huge surprise. We told her Steve couldn't make it but that he wishes he could be there. The next day we took her to get shoes, a pedicure and lunch. Then she showed us her store...

The video is of Steve dressed up as a mustache, hat man and his daughter Hailey as Hannah Montana totally surprising her. Her reaction to him was the reaction she gave all of us(except Bryan of course :). Fun times.
