Gimme a P....gimme an A....gimme an M....

What does that spell?

PAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

For several months, we have been scheming to plan two special surprises for Pam (she is the superwoman of the church and has just celebrated her 20th year working at the church). So around her actual anniversary, the elders presented her with a surprise trip at the end of church one day (which she had no idea about). And after that, Pam thought that was the end of the surprises...but little did she know that we had another trick up our sleeves.

Since November, the staff, along with Mary (Pam's mom) have been planning a secret surprise celebration to honor Pam for all her hard work. She would never let us have a dinner in her honor if she knew about it so we had to sneak around her. Mary had the great idea for the cover story. They pretended to have a family party for Brian (Pam's son) to get her to Mary's hours where the dinner was without suspicion. One of her favorite places to eat is Ironn Starr so we had that catered. Pam was totally shocked, and a little mad at Paul for not telling her to dress up more :)

The dinner was great, almost everyone was able to come, the desserts were delicious and Katie came up with some great 1989 trivia for our prizes and made a cute scrapbook for Pam with letters from us and pictures from the past years. I am also glad that the surprise is over because I was having a hard time keeping the secret towards the end!! All in all, it was a wonderful evening and I am glad that we were able to surprise Pam. She is a great person and a hard worker. We wouldn't know what to do without her :) Thanks for all you do Pam!!

Unfortunately, I didnt get ANY good pictures so I decided to share some funny ones of Pam at church from a long time ago....

This is a cute one of Pam, Brian and Tom.

And here is Matt helping me with the dessert I made. I forgot to take a picture of it but I am going to make another one tomorrow so I will take a picture of it then.
