Mimi 4.0

We actually pulled it off and surprised Mimi for her birthday. Although she did not totally buy the plan that we were only having a "quiet family dinner" for her 40th birthday, she was very surprised by the guests who showed up...

Lisa flew in all the way from La-La Land

Riley was there, even though he was only
discharged from the hospital last week...

...with the lovely Anna,
here hiding in the background
Stu was the life of the party (as always)

And the surprize guest of the night...after two canceled flights
and an airplane with technical difficulties
Daddy made it and Mimi cried.

A rare family photo...Mimi, Daddy, Mom and Me

Zoe got all decked out in her holiday best.

So did Athena, and she even got to wear "pearls" (not real ones)

Alex was there

Ty, Lynette and Sarah (in the background)

I can't believe we actually kept a secret!Mimi had fun and any evening that ends
with a little robin's egg blue box can't be bad!
