I hope your party today is a wonderful surprise!

Although it's probably impossible for anyone to top the celebration they arranged for your first birthday. :)

Since I am just catching up, I'm a little late with the report :) .

TLAF was very surprised. My cousin Mark took lots of pictures.

My other cousin, Patrick, is a videographer. He took the numerous still photos I gave him and turned it into a lovely video.

The first two sections (set to Ella Fitzgerald's version of Sentimental Journey and Dean Martin's Volare) covered youth and married life, including some shots of the card and gift store she owned when I was a kid.

I had given Pat a bunch of pictures of TLAF and recent activities (many only a couple of years old) -- at the Phillies game with The Boyfriend and with some of my friends; at Sea World, feeding a dolphin, riding a cable car, dancing with her senior friends, singing in front of a senior group, doing karaoke, dancing the tarentella at a wedding.

They were the last section. He set it to I Hope You Dance. It was lovely. Not a dry eye in the house.

We had about 55 people at the party. The cousins all brought food. A good time was had by all.

What a wonderful thing you did for your mom! I'm sure she loved every minute of it -- and will continue to enjoy the photos and video from the party.

You're a great daughter!

Yep, those videos set to music get me every time. I know it touched the heart of everyone that was there.

I'm glad everything turned out so well.
