SURPRISE!!! Is It Nifty to be Almost 50?!?!?

Abigail took it upon herself to plan and pull-off a surprise 50th for both her parents...though in the end Kathy did know about what was going on. Abigail did the inviting and involved her sibblings in carrying the plans out. In the end she needed Kathy to help get at least one of the birthday duo to be away so the surptise could be carried off. Kathy's fiftieth was earlier in the year, but Abigail wanted to honor both these big milestones. I can't believe that both our children are in their 50s! Melany came for the party and picked me up so there would be one less vehicle to hide. Woody didn't attempt to attend as it is very hard for him to get into their house and he said he didn't want to detract from the festivities! It was fun to get to know some of their friends who I hadn't met yet and visit with some that I hadn't seen for a while. We took a tour of the farm and saw their new kittens...so sweet...just opening their eyes. Nathan's birthday is next week...but when one wants to pull off a surprise, a little early is good. I do believe he was surprised.
