Wow..I don't even know where to start! I was sitting at home talking to Donna and I was trying to figure out what to do for Mom's birthday. I wanted to do something different but just couldn't put my finger on what. Donna piped up and said we should have a 50's party, like a sock hop! I loved the idea, it was exactly what I wanted to do. So we went outside and ran it by Jim and John and they loved the idea. Jim actually suggested that we have it in his huge garage. Next, we called Sheri and Brian and asked them to come over so we run it by them. We text Teri, and gave her an idea on what we wanted to do. The ideas just kept coming, food, DJ, decorations.....we were all so excited! Donna and I stayed up to midnight making up flyers. The next morning, we went shopping! Cleaning and re-arranging the garage was a big task...John cleaned the floors....
We finally got everything done....We had a night where everyone came over and made posters, we passed out flyers, went shopping, got groceries, and decorated. Our menu was maid-rites, chips, cherry and vanilla cokes, root beer floats, and cake and ice cream. I made Mom a pink poodle skirt cake.....
Marty Smith and his wife, Rita, were hired to DJ the party. We also had karaoke! It was a total blast! Jim started the karaoke by singing "67 Candles", Doyle Riney sang " A white sport coat and a pink carnation", Teri sang a hilarious song she wrote, and it just kept going on and on. Teri sang "The Rose" and Jim joined her for some awesome harmony, Teri, Jim and I sang "The Brady Bunch".....but the hit of the night was when Mom, Teri and I sang Elvira! Jim came and joined us and it was great! There were many other songs sung by Julie Hunt, Sharon Cummins, Alliyah, Libby, Ieshia, Marty,Crystal, and myself. I think it was the best, most awesome party ever!! Mom was completely surprised and will remember it always!! Here are the pics of the party.....ENJOY! 
Mom....We all love you very much and hope you remember this party always....Happy Birthday!
