Mandi is going to be 13 in a few weeks and I want to surprise her with a very special party. I have been planning this for a very long time. Now that the time has come, I have another idea and I am completely unsure of which one is better. Since it is a surprise, I can't just ask her. Sooo, I am asking YOU!
If you were turning 13 and the best daughter, most deserving of everything under the moon AND a HUGE Gator fan - which party would you want? I realize that both ideas are over the top, but it is a special birthday and she really does deserve it, for many reasons.
Plan A
- A night on the town with a few girlfriends (in a LIMO!!!). Maybe we will go see some Christmas lights at the lake and roast marshmallows at the end of the drive AND/OR ice skating at a little town square fully decked out for the holidays. Afterwards, we'll go back home for a sleepover and a special breakfast in the morning.
OR
- Since it is the night of the SEC Championship games and the Gators are playing in our town, we will rent an RV, load up the friends and drive to the stadium, park it outside and have a tailgate party with the rest of the poor souls who can't afford a ticket at $321+ a pop. We can take a grill and cook out and hang out in the RV which has satellite tv or watch it outside if it is being projected (need more info on this). We checked into getting tickets, but a 4 pack of tickets is $1500!!! (ouch)
Remember, it is a surprise, no matter which one we do. So ssshhhh! Thankfully, she doesn't read my blog unless I show it to her!

OMG - 13! She is so grown up!!! I would do the night on the town - she and her friends will love it :D
Ladybug hugs,

Night on the town- what a big surprise!!!
I have to agree with you since I am not a football fan either. I think a night out on the town with a Limo will be much more memorable! Plus a little more sane for you if all the girls stay over.

I would go for plan A. What a sweet mommy you are!
OK, I'm going with the tailgating!! It's the championship game!!! How often does that happen with your favorite team? Do the night on the town for her 16th!
(Can you tell I'm a boy mom?)
I'll be the odd-ball in the group! I think the football game is such a unique party for the girls! Such F*U*N!!!
I read this to Leslie and she said she would prefer the LIMO and night out. She loves the surprise idea!
Oooooh, I am torn...me, personally - night on the town. But if she really loves football, it might be such a fun memory to tailgate and hang with lots of her buds. This is a difficult choice Sheryl - either way, she will be so thankful to you and will be blessed by the celebration:)
Love to you -
Heather
