Happy Birthday, Mom!
We got together with the family to celebrate on Sunday evening. Unfortunately, Ben had strep throat so Brad and Ben had to stay home. They really missed out because Tad cooked another delicious meal: grilled salmon, roasted veggies, risotto, and heirloom tomato salad. And Tif made a delicious apple blackberry cake for dessert. We were supposed to have the dinner at my house, but since Ben was sick, we met at mom's.
I was pretty disappointed that Brad didn't get to come because he picked out my mom's present this year. He found a really cool antique co-op up in Everett where he knew he could find something she'd like. I really wanted him to be able to see how excited she was when she opened it.
Check out her expression, just as excited as a kid! I love that about my mom!
Mom and her new friend. It matches her new sewing room pretty well, doesn't it?
I think someone got the candles on the cake backwards...isn't is supposed to be 26?
She looks 26! I love how excited she gets. She is just like a little kid. :) So fun spending time with you tonight. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHey Brad . . . what a find! Who knew that you had the eye for finding old metal roosters?! D'ya think you could find me an antique armadillo or muskrat for my birthday? :-)

62!?!?! No way! I honestly wouldn't have ever thought!
