AN 80th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Janet and Laurel decided to surprise their mother Virginia with a celebration of her 80th birthday by inviting all Virginia's friends and relatives to her church, telling them it was a surprise.  The time leading up to the party was tense, both sisters sure that someone would slip and tell Virginia about the party.

The church hall was decorated with photographs depicting Virginia's life, many slipped from Virginia's house when she wasn't looking.  With the local help of Martha and Charlie, the sisters pulled it off perfectly.  Virginia was totally surprised!  AND, she had the greatest time talking to friends and reminiscing with the collection of the photos that spanned her life.  Follow along for a tour of Virginia's 80th birthday party.

The invitation said not to tell and only one person did.
Virginia didn't catch on, though.
