Happy Birthday Mom!

Today my mom is 60! 

I can say that because she doesn't have a gray hair on her head...youthfully young! 

Yesterday we had a party for her to celebrate the big 6-0.  We had a "these are a few of your favorite things" party.  With everyone in the family spread out all over the country, we had each person in the family say one thing that they know that mom loves/ reminds them of her or something that is her favorite.  We gathered a present that represents what they said to go with it. 

It turned out cute...

Here is the set up!

Some of the gifts were wrapped and some were left unwrapped.  Dad's present to mom was an iPhone 4.

Some of the things mom "loves" also were for the dinner.  Burgers, chips, root beer, her favorite salads, cupcakes, and chocolate chip mint ice cream.

Amy's was ...reading.  A gift card to Half Price Books

Sterling knows Linda loves...Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies

Mitch knows Linda loves banana runts

....puzzles

Griff's was a framed picture of everyone (minus Charlotte) this summer.  When asked what Grandma loves Griffen told his mom that Grandma loves his handsome hair!  So true Griff, Grandma does LOVE that!!

Okay, so I do know that Potato does not have an E on the end!

Well at least, she likes things to be CLEAN! (A bottle of dish soap that sits on the counter)

...and Peppermint Patties

...movies (A gift card to the movie theater)

Kara's was a cute pastel candy dish.  Mine was ...sudoku

...books (A bedtime story)

Some chapstick to moisten those lips!

This is by far the coolest wind-up animal on the planet!!

I missed a picture of Jefferson's but his was... Jefferson knows Grandma loves ICE CREAM, with a gift card to her favorite U-Top it frozen yogurt place. 

The party planning committee!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!
