This past weekend Tim, Caden and I traveled south for my sister's 30th Surprise Birthday Party! It has been crazy keeping such a big secret from her because we talk and text all the time! There were a couple of close calls, but in the end she swears she did not suspect a thing!
Scott and Jim (his uncle) did an amazing job getting all the decorations and decorating for the party along with Carol (his aunt) and Connie (his mom). I was in charge of all the invitations and getting all the RSVP's back and my mom was in charge of making her famous birthday cake with butter cream icing! The event turned out marvelous!
Here is the cake table! The flowers were gorgeous and were a gift to Kari from Jim and Carol. I love this picture of Kari from her senior year! She could have sooooo been a JC Penney model! HA!
The balloons looked amazing and were such the 'icing on the cake' for the party. Here are Caden, me, Joyce, Mom, Carol and Susan (Scott's sister) waiting for the star of the party to arrive.
Another picture of the cake table. The cake Mom made is on the left.
I think Mom did an amazing job with the pink and black! Kari's nicknames are written around the border of the cake. Kari loved high heels when she was a little girl so the play heels were such a cool touch!

Surprise! Scott had the party at his office building on the first floor and got her there by telling her he was taking Bella, Lane and her out for a nice family Valentine Surprise...little did she know!
She was overcome with emotion and it was amazing to see her face when she looked into the room at all her family and friends.
The tears were flowing!

It was so much fun seeing the surprised look on her face! She said she could hardly sleep Sat. night, re-playing it in her mind! Eighty some-odd friends were there to help us celebrate!
YAY!! I'm so glad it all went as planned! You guys did a GREAT job and Kari looks beautiful, as always. Happy 30th!
Jamie your too sweet! The party was a blast and I was completely overwhelmed with emotion that everyone would do this for me. It was a night I will always remember.
