That simple idea morphed into quite a nice party for Mom because she invited us all up to visit my sister, not even mentioning that it was her own birthday!
Four generations were present to celebrate at this Friday luncheon at Mom and Dad's house. Many grandchildren got to take a day off from schoolwork in order to attend and hang out with their big extended family. The three newest great-grandchildren were also ready to party!
Happy Birthday, Mom. Thanks for everything you are and everything you do with so much love.
