HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER!

On the 26th we celebrated my Mom's 70th birthday (she turned 70 on Nov 8th). It was family and a few friends.





On the door in the kitchen we posted stars for each of her four children, eleven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

The top right star (blue) is hers with all of her names; Pat, Grandma, Mother, Mommy, and Mama.

My Dad is on the top left (green) with all of his names; Mike, Grandpa, and Daddy.













The star Christmas ornaments on the table were our party favors. We plan to do Christmas party favors each year from now on.

The two houses made for hours of entertainment for Jacob. The house on the left had a small train that would go around the track and Jacob would sit and watch it go.





This is my Mom in front of her birthday cake. She is standing in her almost-finished kitchen. Happy Birthday Mother!

This fall my parents started a remodeling project in which they are completely redoing the kitchen and bathrooms. I can't wait to see when it is finished.
