On Dec. 30th we went to St. George for a surprise party for Cleola. Kim, our cute niece put together a surprise party for her 50th birthday. It was so fun. Cleola is my sister in-law. She is always doing for others and it was fun to see her get surprised. Cleola is the Relief society president in her ward and they had the bishop call her to his office on her birthday to discuss some of the things in the ward. She said that it was her birthday and wanted to know if she could come another night. The Bishop told her that he really needed to talk to her. Once she was there they talked about a few things and then the Bishop brought her down to the Relief Society room to look for a place to hang another picture. We were all there waiting to surprise her. It was great! She had no clue that we were there. I was asked to bring a cake for 50 people. So I made a carrott cake and frosted it with black frosting. I took some dead roses and spray painted them black and put them and some black ribbon on the cake.
This first picture is of Charlie, her husband watching for her to come around the corner so he could alert us all of her coming.
This is some of the family setting up the dinner table.
Here is Cleola, cutting the cake.
This is when she first came in the room.
Here is the cake. Have you ever tried to make black frosting? I hadn't before. What a challenge. Needless to say I was worried that it would turn everyones mouth black or purple, but it didn't.
Happy birthday Cleola.

What a neat way to surprise someone. That looks so fun. Is she Carolyn's sister or is her husband Carolyn's brother..........or is she your brothers wife? I've heard you talk about her, but don't know the connection. Great blog. Claudine
