Boys,
Since your father treated me to such a nice weekend, and as he's turning fifty in February, I want your help to throw him a surprise party. It isn't often I have the chance to surprise him, and I must say, our trip to Paris was quite the surprise. I wasn't expecting half of it, and I want to show him how special he is to me, and all of us really. I'm sure we'll need more help to make sure it gets pulled off properly, but will you help?
Lots of Love,
Mum
