Mission Accomplished!

Okay, I know that you have been on the edge of your seats, dying to find out my secret.  The secret was for my mom.  August 31st is her birthday and we wanted to do something special for her.  This happens to be a big milestone birthday but I'll tell you about that tomorrow.:)  On Saturday we sent her to have her hair done and then her friend Tracy took her to lunch and pretty much all around Nashville to keep her out of the house.  Thank you Tracy!!! While she was gone, we took over her bedroom.  After some hard work by her incredibly wonderful children (along with some significant others) her bedroom is beautifully painted and redecorated.  My mom is so giving and doesn't do nearly enough for herself and we wanted her to have a special, comfortable place to relax and unwind.  It was mostly a surprise.  She knew something was going on but didn't know at all what it was.  Sooooo, without further ado, here is the new room:

 This bedroom went from white and slightly plain to golden and BEAUTIFUL!  What do you think?

Surprised at her finished room.

Stacey and Emily eagerly awaiting her reaction.

POWER-painting. 

Our accomplice--we couldn't have done it without her!!

What a great family day!  Wes showed off his handy skills and Chris had to work but sent his love from Knoxville.  Amp came over and we celebrated further with a yummy steak dinner and strawberry cake! 

Mom, I know I speak for all of us when I say you are truly an amazing mother and friend.  Hope your day was wonderful and that you have many more special ones!  You deserve it.
