Tommy, Addie Kate and I got there early to get some balloons, set things up, and meet everyone. Then, the plan was for my dad to bring my mom to meet the three of us and my brother and his wife at Flight Deck. I instructed my dad to complain the whole way there, like he usually would, so my mom would not suspect a thing. Dad called Tommy to say they were there, and I instructed the hostess that we'd be coming in, that we were the surprise party, and to seat us as usual. Of course, once Mom saw Addie, she was distracted enough that it really didn't matter. As soon as she walked in the room though, she was shocked!
A big thank you goes to Aunt Ellen, who picked up the cake for me, and then showed up at Hallmark at just the right time. The balloons wouldn't fit in our car, so I was able to put them in hers!
The party continued on. We had Flight Deck's "blue plate specials" for dinner, which was also the theme of the party. The cake was super yummy and Mom also got some great gifts. Thank you to everyone that came and helped make this day special for my mom. And, Happy 60th Birthday to you, Mom, we love you so much!
Below are some pictures from our fun night!

Cookie took time out to color with Addie. Addie took right to her and would not let her quit! She kept putting crayons in her hand!
Addie and her cousin, Sanders.
Sue and Paul
Addie loved Mrs. Janice's cane and walked around with it for a while! Luckily, it was too heavy for her to swing it in the air! 
My girl and me!
Aunt Lisa feeding Addie cake. (Uncle Mike in the background) Addie ate like a pig that night! I was terrified that we'd have a sick baby when we got home, but we didn't!
