California - 3

SURPRISE

Grandma Holly turned 50 while we were in California so we decided to throw her a big, surprise party. It was so fun to plan the party and it was really fun!! I was sure the girls were going to blow the surprise because they helped me make the flowers and inviations and we talked about the party a lot before we left. Luckily, once we got to California there was too much going on for them to remember about the party. Holly and Mike took Paul to the airport and then Mike stalled and stalled and stalled so we could get everything set up. Our 'theme' was Red Hot Chile Peppers - I don't have a picture of the invitations but here are pictures of the party:

Ice Cream Bar

Salsa Bar

Hudson and Grandma waiting

It didn't take Vienna long to discover this was the best seat in the house.
She would stand up, sneak some treats, and then sit under the table to eat them.

Bristol realized that Vienna had the right idea - she struggled
with getting out and back in a little and she was too short to reach the treats
but Vienna had no problem helping her!

The Surprise!

We love Grandma Holly! We were so glad to be there and help her celebrate her birthday! Vienna mentioned that night that we forgot to get balloons - a crime in our family. Maybe for 51?
