Happy Birthday Mom!

This year was mom's 40th birthday! The day before her actual birthday we decided to throw mom a family surprise party. She was working till one then was going to the doctors so she wouldn't be home till around 3. I was already home from school not feeling well and Dad went and got the other kids out of school early so we could surprise her even more. The balloons looked black instead of purple and the streamers were supposed to be black instead of brown... oh well!

Poor mom :D

The cake was like a fire ball! We actually had to take it outside and open the doors and windows because it filled the kitchen with smoke!

Claire was comforting Mom because she was feeling old

The funniest parts was watching Elvis try to pop one of the balloons. He does this every time we bring one home. We love him!
