For my mother's birthday this year, my aunts (her sisters) and her mother and I put together a little tea party breakfast where we suprised her with a special present. My aunts had gone walking with her that morning and decorated my grandma's house with balloons and a banner and set the table all quaint and cute for us, and then me and Braxton (and my brother Joseph who is being home-schooled) joined them. We had yummy, hearty bran muffins and fresh squeezed tangerine juice (DELECTABLE!) and ornage juice, little breakfast quiches and turkey bacon and fresh fruit with yogurt. That was the best breakfast I have had in ages! We used the nice china dishes and had soft music playing in the background and it was just so fun! We felt like we should have been dressed up in english dresses and hats and talking about the weather and the latest gossip. 
But the breakast was really just an excuse to get together and SURPRISE my mother with her special present this year for being the "World's most Wonderful Mother!" :) What is it you ask? An ENCHANTED GETAWAY to VICTORIA ISLAND in British Columbia! Wahoo! My aunts and I and my younger sister Alisha are all going to be her "escorts" as we tour the beautiful Buchart Gardens and stay in charming little bed and breakfasts by the ocean there. It took awhile to plan it all, but it will definitely be worth it! I can't wait to go! Here is the picture of my mother when she read where we would be going...
Happy Birthday Mom! :)

What an awesome surprise! I wanna come! :) I know you guys will have a great time. Are you taking Braxton with you, or is Daddy gonna take care of him during your trip?
How FUN!!! That's where Ty and I planned on going for our honeymoon before we decided on the more practical honeymoon (in hind sight, kinda wished we hadn't). I hope you have so much fun! Since it is all planned, I suppose you have no use for the piles of information and brochures their department of tourism sent me. ;) I'm so excited for you! When do you go?
I am excited for you! The license plates don't say "Beautiful British Columbia" for nothing. I wish I were going to BC, too!
I went there with my family 4 years ago and I would go again in a heartbeat!! Absolutely gorgeous! And Buchart Gardens are breathtaking!! Can't wait to see your pictures. Have fun!
If anyone deserves a wonderful getaway, it would be Carolyn. I've been there and she will LOVE it!!! There are flowers hanging fro baskets on every street. I hope you have a wonderful time!!
