Party Recap...
My MIL was born in 1952 in St. Louis, Missouri during the Swing Dance Era, so my sister-in-law, Heather Martin, and I decided to throw her a huge surprise party and bring all her family into town. So we sent her to the spa for the day and transformed her home in 4 hours into a 1950's Jazz Club!
