Sheryl Worley Young's 60th Birthday!

Today my sister Sheryl turned 60 years old. We had a huge surprise party for her. It was a weekend of celebration starting on Friday. I travelled to Killeen and met Sheryl, Bob, Robin and Kevin and we headed to Red Lobster for her Birthday lunch, Friday afternoon. I had told her that we were busy this weekend and that I could take her to lunch on Friday instead. We had a great lunch and I headed back to get Greerson at Band Camp by 5pm. Saturday we waited to hear from Angie and Rox to see what time they would be arriving. Steve was due in at 4:00pm. Sheryl had no idea that we were planning anything. About noon Robin texted and said she needed help keeping the secret. Sheryl wanted to go shopping in Round Rock. So I called and said I had some time open up and Christa could register Greerson with the Band. I got there about 2:30 and we sat around for a bit and discovered that the others would not arrive until about 5:00pm. So we went shopping. Meanwhile the text messages were flying, but Sheryl didn't suspect a thing. After shopping we drove around town a little and when we got back to her house Steve, Carol and Rachel along with Rox, Angie, Todd, Regan, Caleb, Titan, Adia and Salem were seated on the retaining wall by the driveway. Sheryl commented,"whose cars are here?" Then she saw them sitting there. She was so excited to see them. We all settled in to visiting and ate dinner and then set the cake out for dessert. Meanwhile the kids wanted to go swimming so we all ended up out by the pool. BJ called while we were out there and she had a good visit and wished he was here. I decided to take a picture of the group and while we were posing for he picture the big surprise happened. Ryder, BJ's youngest son came running in and Sheryl looked down and said, "What are you doing here?" She was totally surprised for BJ and Alicia to walk in. Everyone else knew what was going to happen, but this really made her weekend. BJ has such a hard time getting off work and she doesn't get to see him much. After they greeted everyone we went in and lit all 60 candles. Sheryl blew them out with the help of her grandkids and nieces and nephews.
Sheryl couldn't believe we actually put 60 candles on the cake
