Jay-N-Gwendolyn

Toga! Toga! Toga! Yes that was the theme of my mother’s 50th birthday party. We decided to throw a surprise toga party at my parent’s friend’s house. The party was on the 14th so Gwendolyn and I were in charge of decorations so the weekend before we had to go out and get as much greek/roman stuff as we could. We also went shopping for togas. It was all pretty fun.

On the day of the party we had to head to Gwendolyn’s mothers, as she made us the best cake ever. She actually made it in the shape of a roman Pantheon! Transporting the cake was pretty nerve racking, but not as bad as when guests started to arrive and Gwen and I were still not ready! But we were able to put the final touches on everything and get dressed in time. My parents arrived and my mother was quite surprised by the turn out! Some old friends that she grew up with ended up coming down for the surprise also. She was excited to see them. Also, later on her brother showed up with Joann, which was another big surprise! I have to say the whole thing was a big success! I was surprised so many people showed up, and even more surprised by how many people actually dressed up!!

We spent the rest of the day at the party and cleaning up. Sunday we went into town to eat and check out the Art cars. They were all pretty impressive! Gwen and I decided we should do one of those one day also. We just have to think of the perfect idea first!

Be sure to check out the pictures of the Party and Art Cars.
