HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!!!


so we surprised mary last night... it was so much fun.

we told her that we were taking her to TERRA MIA, a fancy restaurant in the NORTH END. she was so excited about going, that i almost felt bad. but not too bad. she was in for a HUGE surprise. we also told her that we were taking our good friend CHRISTY.

so got to CHRISTY's house and we told her that she had made something special for her and that she needed to go inside to see it.

so MAR jumps out of the car, trots up the stairs, rings the doorbell and immediately starts singing out... "CHRISTY IT's MY BIRTHDAY... COME TO THE DOOR, CHRISTY... IT's MY BIRTHDAY"

my only regret is that we did not have a camera ready to capture her reaction when the door swung open and a chorus sung out "SURPRISE!!!" she was adorable.

BUT

not as adorable as when she opened the BIG gift of the evening. a bunch of us pitched in and bought her a long-desired IPOD VIDEO... she nearly peed her pants!

what a rush and a great way to celebrate someone who is so giving and insightful, one who is so kind to others and would do anything for a friend.

WE LOVE YOU MARY... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
