Wednesday was my mom's 60th birthday. Her birthday kicked off the reunion festivities. Here she and Lily (who looks a lot like her don't you think) are looking cute in their sombreros.
We put up the birthday banner and the kids picked out some balloons. I had to pick up a birthday girl tiara for fun. We grabbed her out of the garden to take this picture -- hence the gardening gloves.
Mom's favorite dessert is strawberry shortcake -- and just look at all that Cool Whip -- yum! And isn't she cute! I can't tell you how great it has been to have her here this last week. I hope someday we can be close enough to spend every birthday together!
Now I know this looks a little weird but... in my family on your birthday you have to sit in a chair and the family holds hands in a circle around you and sings happy birthday. Then each time they pass you they ruffle your hair. It is so much fun! So mom had 30 people dancing around her. I think the neighbors may have thought we were preforming some sort of pagan ritual.
