Happy Bday to your mom! Are you doing anything special for her 50th? My sisters and I planned a surprise bday for my mom's 60th (23 May) and she loved it! Perhaps something to think about on her 60th. ;-)
We were going to do a party, however, my mom is more depressed about turning 50 than happy. She specifically requested NO PARTY! We all went out to Applebees and celebrated with our family. It was a wonderful night! She enjoyed just being with the family.
