GiGi's Birthday Celebration (and Kari's Surprise!)

My sister and I have been wanting to do something nice for our Mom's 60th birthday and we finally came up with a plan!  We decided to do a Girl's Night Out and rent a limo and take some of Mom's closest friends out to dinner at Perry's Steakhouse in The Woodlands.  

Mom knew nothing except she had to 'dress up' and head to Kari's house as soon as she got off work Thursday.  

Caden, Cameron and myself headed to Conroe on Thursday to stay through Friday and head back Friday night since Caden had Hockey Class on Saturday!

Kari and I had so much fun dressing up and getting Mom ready for her big night out!

 We had Sparking Grape Juice toasts to Mom!

Here is Mom at Perry's with her Birthday dessert!

On Friday we celebrated at Kari and Scott's so that the grandkids could give her their presents.

I love her cake!

She thought she could slap a bow on Cameron and take him home with her as her gift, but I nixed that idea! :)

Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary is March 31st so I gave them their gift from our family.  It is a canvas family tree with all our names on it, the Reaves and WE 4 Iveys!  The bottom says Est. 1972 and there is a heart carved out in the center of the tree that says Robert + Pat.  They loved it!

Without Kari knowing, I ordered her a cake and we celebrated her birthday!  She and Scott were in Canada during her birthday so I told her that I would just 'bring her gifts' down when we came down for Mom's party.  She was so surprised!

Here she is with her necklace and earrings, courtesy of my friend Jennifer Dolcefino!

Here she is holding her cake.  We had so much fun wining and dining our Mom and I had a blast surprising Kari!  I love you both so much!
