Shhh...it's a SURPRISE!

And it was a SURPRISE!

I am so proud of everyone for keeping it a secret! Anyone that knows a Bolick knows what a triump this is! We have been planning this party for weeks now and everything went as planned. My Dad is on the Town Council so he told Mom that they had called an "emergency" Town Hall meeting to deal with some local government issues. He said she fussed all the way there and was so mad about having to come that she didn't even recognize all our cars in the parking lot. The look on her face definately showed how surprised she was when she walked in the door...it was priceless!

We didn't know how she would react to the big party so we decided to place the blame on the cutest little party girl there because we knew she couldn't get mad at her...

Since Mimi is far from being "Over The Hill," we decided to have a "Fifty & Fabulous" Party instead. We had so much fun honoring an amazing woman that does so much for her family and NEVER asks for anything in return! All I can say is that I hope I look as good as my Mom does when I turn 50!

We had a spaghetti dinner with salad which was so good! Thanks to Uncle Dave, Aunt Sherry & Maw-Maw for all your help! Also thanks to Nanny, Debbie, Brandy, & Ashley for all the yummy desserts! I don't see how caterers handle all the stress of trying to feed so many people! Now I understand why they charge so much per person!

We LOVE our Momma!

I thought this was a cute bag!

Madalyn grabbed her a gift to get some practice opening presents for her upcoming birthday!

While we were cleaning up, Ella insisted on holding EVERY balloon in the room. By the time she gathered them all up, she couldn't hold her arm down from floating up. She LOVES "bawoons" and had so much fun at Mimi's party playing with them!

Happy 50th Birthday, Mimi! We hope you have the best birthday ever! We love you!!!!
