SURPRISE!

My Mother in Law Jennie (Michael's Mother) turns 60 today so the family planned a Surprise Party! I'm pretty sure it was Matt's idea and he really did the 'planning' but we did a fair job getting it set up to help him.
He told her we were going to take a family picture and he'd pick her up (that way she wouldn't be mad when all her friends were there and her hair wasn't done. he he). He mysteriously drove her by her church and pulled in to see what was going on. Jennie had no idea till she was at the back of the building and they were coming in together. We yelled surprise and hopped up and down. Many of her friends were there and it was full of food and friendship. Jennie really did enjoy herself and that is the point. Here are a few pictures of the event:
