What do you give the person in your life who deserves more than anything you could even imagine? The one who gives unconditionally without expecting anything in return? You give her the gift of family along with a celebration to truly remember! We decided to surprise my beautiful mother-in-law Venus with a birthday dinner at Waterside Restaurant & Catering to celebrate this special milestone in her life. We told her that her gift was a special weekend away that we had planned, complete with an overnight hotel stay, dinner at a fancy French restaurant, a day at the spa, followed by hair and makeup and a beautiful new dress for a “family photoshoot” with all her kids and grandchildren. But the truth is we needed a reason to get her out of the house because we invited all her siblings from Florida for a surprise birthday dinner! And even though that was amazing (and not to mention, no easy feat!), we had an even bigger surprise in store: her father, who traveled all the way from Ecuador to be a part of this very special night! It was the best gift we could give to the person who means so much to us all and deserve it all and so much more!
The moment we were all waiting for!
The kids were the first ones to run up to Nana to give her a big hug!
And then off to greet all the family and friends that traveled both near and far!
Not a dry eye in the room as we witnessed this father/ daughter moment!
Nana & Papa with their greatest gifts – their grandchildren.
She got a mini family photo shoot afterall!
Toasts were had and speeches were made!
Can’t believe this crazy crew pulled this off!
We love you, Venus! Happy 60th!
