This weekend was quite the special one for Candace Cameron Bure, as not only did her family celebrate Easter, but she welcomed a big milestone birthday. The actress turned the big 5-0 on April 6, and her family was apparently ready with a surprise to make sure her day was as special as could be. Meanwhile, Bure posted some cute pics to social media, and I’m not quite sure I believe these photos are of a 50-year-old.
Look, you don’t have to tell us that the Full House star still looks as gorgeous as ever, no matter her age. We’ve seen how she can light up a room in a classy sheer dress and dazzle in gold at her son’s wedding. Still, I honestly think Candace Cameron Bure could pull off saying she was half her actual age in these Instagram photos:

You guys, that is the face of a woman who’s not afraid of entering a new decade. In fact, she confirmed that she’s “excited” about it as she discussed how she planned to celebrate the big day. CCB told US Weekly:
Article continues belowI mean, [I’m] feeling excited. It’s a little weird to turn 50, but I’m excited. I have, I think, a surprise on my birthday. On Monday, my husband’s planning something for me, and all the kids will be here. But I have no idea what we’re doing.
I trust that her husband Val knows what he’s doing at this point — as long as he doesn’t accidentally take her to a sex party again.
She admitted she had no idea what her family had planned, other than a meal at the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant Casaléna, but I’m sure that having her three kids — Natasha, 27, Lev, 26, and Maks, 24 — all there to spend the day with her is what matters the most.
However, I can totally see Candace Cameron Bure being the kind of person who has a bit of trouble relinquishing control, and she admitted:
I don’t mind surprises. It’s so funny because there were parts of me that were like, ‘Yeah, plan whatever you guys want.’ And then my brain kicks in and I’m like, ‘Well, let me see what you’re doing. Let me put my fingerprint on that one.’
That is so relatable.

I love seeing so many ‘90s TV stars, GAF and Hallmark actors, and her Full House family showing up for her milestone birthday.
Keep an eye out for big things from Candace Cameron Bure this holiday season, as she works on changing up the typical Christmas movie formula. This year’s Great American Family offerings also include a sequel that offered her an acting opportunity she’s never had before.
