The One Where My Mom Turns 87

 

Today, I went to the Cape and joined Mark to take my Mom out for breakfast. It happens to be her 87th birthday. It is soooooo hard to believe.

 

Happy 87th Mom!

The One With Mother's Day Weekend

It is here. The single most important day of any family Mother's Day Weekend.

After all, without mothers, there would be no family.

For us, this entails a variety of things. First, we have to contend with sports this weekend. Bri had a softball game Friday and Kiff has a football (flag variety) game Sunday, on Mother's Day.

Then, we had to deal with the fact we have recital practice. Always fun, but definitely digs into the time.

Once those are done, we have to visit Moms....always fun. We checked in with my mother earlier tonight. It was a hoot. And we will see Emmie's mother tomorrow at brunch, which is also fun.

It is a wonderful weekend...but VERY busy.

HERE's WISHING A MOMS A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

The One Where My Mother Turns 80

This past week, my mother turned 80. To celebrate it, we had a surprise party for her at her house.

It was quite a surprise. Although, she had expected to see her children and their extended families, she had no idea that our aunts and uncles were coming as well. It really caught her off guard.

And what a great day it was. Her three children all brought some appetizers. My sister made chicken cordon bleu with rice, my brother brought a great cake, and we made a snazzy salad.

In what has been a tough year, we were able to laugh, share memories, and have a lot of fun as a family....and bring us closer....while all celebrating a wonderful matriarch!


Happy Birthday Mom. We love you.
