Antigone, Audrey, and several other wonderful friends and family members surprised George and me with a 50th birthday party last night. They were soooo sneaky; we never suspected a thing. We thought we were invited to our grandson Carson's party, since he will turn one on January 19th, so we showed up with our arms filled with presents for him. We opened the gameroom door to a darkened room. Then, "Surprise!" everyone yelled, and we were momentarily blinded by all the camera flashes. It took me a minute to realize that these were OUR family and friends, and that all this was for us. Audrey flew in from New York and Eric, Sharon, Ashleigh, and Alexandra came from Corsicana. Antigone had food from Carino's for dinner and beautiful birthday cakes to share. We are amazed that the girls would do something like this for us; we love you very much. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us-we treasure all of you, and can't wait to get you back, ummm, I mean, we can't wait to help you celebrate your 50th at some point in the future !P.S. Pictures of the event are here on daughter Antigone's blog.
