It's Great to Be Eight!

{Baptism Day}

A Perfect 60

My Sisters and I got together,

and planned a 60th Birthday Ta-Do

for our Mom!

For planning via text,

it all came together real smooth-like!

[Here's just a peak!]

We hosted a Luncheon,

and in lieu of gifts,

we asked that everyone share a fond memory,

or story of our Birthday Girl!

In addition to the above pictures,

we also had displays of quilts, talents, pictures 

and a time line along the wall, of our Mom's life!

Our Guest of Honor loved it all,

and beamed from her shining eyes!

Love You, Mom!

Birthday Girl

So many of my FAVORITE things, 

all in One Day!

Early morning miles,

breakfast in bed,

smelly soaps,

homemade coupons,

my favorite people,

and 

a belly full of sushi!

My sister and I got the idea to host a 

CHOPPED event for our kids!

We divided them in teams

and gave them the Secret Ingredient

(to be used however they wanted):

CARMELS

Thankfully my sister was willing to host,

because, the kids used just about every pot, pan,
bowl, spoon, blender, microwave,
oven, stove, and mixer you could imagine!
But the results were rather impressive!

The kids LOVED it

and have asked

"When can we do THAT again?!"
