Mom, aka Lise Helmuth, celebrated her 50th birthday this April. What she didn't know was that dad, aka Ezra Helmuth, spent months organizing a surprise party for her at Yoder's Country Kitchen in Arthur, IL, my hometown. What she ALSO didn't know was that her son, aka me, would be there (flying in from Calif.), but incognito. Watch mom -- and both my grandmas -- get the surprise of her life when I come in dressed as a dog, only to unveil myself in front of a crowd of nearly 200 people while we take a picture.
