My Grandma's 70th Surprise Birthday Party!

It was the spring of 2005. My Mommy, Uncle, 2 cousins and I drove to Atlanta from Washington, DC for Grandma’s 70th Surprise birthday party. It took us about 12 hours to get there. We watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and slept the rest of the way.



The next morning we prepared for Grandma’s party that night. My mommy and Aunty Juliet took care of all the details. Later on that evening, my cousins and I took Grandma for a ride in the limousine. After that she still didn’t know we were giving her a surprise party. When we returned from the limousine ride all the guests were waiting quietly in the dark. We walked grandma to the door and rang the door bell. Aunty Juliet opened the door and the lights came on and everyone shouted…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! SURPRISE!!

Grandma was very surprised! In fact, tears ran down her eyes. She was so happy. My Grandma surprise party was so much fun. Family, friends, and neighbors gathered together to wish her a lifetime of joy and happiness. I will never forget that day.
