Hey Sandra, last night I gave my mom a surprise birthday party at Aria. She turned 61 years old. We had an amazing time and she was excited and super surprised. We as a family are very close but it was ultra special that my step father came after having surgery just yesterday as well. She was surrounded by love !!! Here are some of the pictures in case you wanted to post.
