Happy Birthday, Mom!

We started out Mom's birthday by going to TGI Friday's at midnight. It's happy hour until 2am and appetizers are half off. So, Mom, Jordan, Douglas and I ordered 6 appetizers to share. We were stuffed! After going home and sleeping, we met at Souplantation for lunch. There were 18 of us (including babies and little ones.) Mom got a Willow Tree figurine from her friend Debbie, a Barnes and Nobles gift card from Grandma and Grandpa, money from Jordan and 2 Golden Spoon gift cards. Dad gave Mom a $47 gift card because she turned 47 and then Michelle handed Mom a gift card for $20 and said she looked 20. It was funny. Dad told us when he went to buy the gift card and asked for the amount to be $47, they looked at him funny and just asked, "Why?" Since we had forgotten to bring Mom her present to Souplantation, we brought it over to her later in the day. She asked for a mini hymnal so we got her a red one. :) She tried it out by having us all sing the first song in the hymnal - with 4-part harmony!

Golden Spoon!


Since Mom is getting "old," she decided to try on "old lady" sunglasses


This doesn't have much to do with anything, but I like the picture. Mom is holding Chloe while Douglas is feeding her. Jenn is listening intently to the conversation and Anna is getting ready to pounce

2 is the number of people who love me:

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I did not say mom looked 20 when I gave her the gift card. I told her that she really looked 67 because 47 plus 20 is 67.

Wow, that's much better. Thanks for clarifying.
