Today for Blue Monday I thought I would show some beautiful blue pictures from my Birthday Surprise from my dear sweet husband.
The other day was my Birthday. My husband told me he was taking me somewhere for a special dinner and for me to pack a overnight bag. Where was he taking me that I needed a overnight bag I thought?
We drove to downtown Riverside to the beautiful Mission Inn Hotel. They were having their Festival of Lights for the Christmas Holiday and the lights were breathtaking!
Look at what greeted us when we drove up!
This was my favorite area, the beautiful blue pool with the lights surrounding it! There was blue lights everywhere!
My husband rented a beautiful Suite on the top floor overlooking all these beautiful lights!
He told me we had 7:00 dinner reservations. The Hostess took us to a beautiful room in the back to be seated. There I was startled with a screaming of SURPRISE!
I was embarrassed so I covered my face.....
My husband had invited my girl friends and their husbands. They made me wear a Boa and a Crown on my head and my girl friend Donna made me a Barbie Doll Cake (I collect Vintage Barbie Dolls)
The Barbie on the Cake also had a Boa and a Crown!
Here is a picture of my friends. Isn't my husband the greatest?

Happy Birthday to you ♫
Oh, what a truly wonderful surprise! First to have a sweet husband whisk you away for an overnight treat at such a glorious place--and have a suite waiting! Then, to be surrounded by so many friends, and finally, to have one make you that special cake, which DOES look like you. I'm so happy for you, Ann; sure deserve it. Happy Blue Monday.

WOW what a fabulous hubby you have and what a great surprise. The lights are BEAUTIFUL!! Sounds like you had the BEST Birthday ever!!!
What a sweet husband!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
How fun was that!!! Tell Don I'm proud of him. But I am offended that he didn't invite us! :0)
My gosh it's great to read about my own home town and places I know and scenes I've seen and rooms I've been in! I am so glad you got those shots of the Mission Inn. I missed everything this year. I just have not been up to doing things like that yet..and I hated missing all of it.
We plan to ride down and look at the lights..but it rained all day long and neither of us felt like going out in the weather tonight.
Thanks for printing those pictures. :) What fun.
I'm glad you like the skates.
You can click on the picture and see them closer.
Happy Birthday, by the way!! And many, many happy returns!!
Hugs,
Mona

Oh, Ann- what a treat! You have such a sweet Hubby, and your friends must love you so much.
(I can see why- I love you too and have never even met you in person!)
Happy Belated Birthday- I hope it was the best ever!
AWESOME!! Happy Birthday!! SO fun!
I discovered your wonderful blog through Pink Saturday. I was busy exploring your site and thoroughly enjoying myself when I suddenly thought "Why that looks like our Mission Inn." Duh. It is our Mission Inn! I live about a mile from the hotel. In my defense, I really should be in bed.
Please be sure to visit the newly restored Riverside Performing Arts Center the next time you come to town. Maybe you can turn the tables and surprise your husband with a tour.
Have a great Pink Saturday!
