Mom's 60th

This year was a special year for my mom. She turned 60. Some of her friends put together a surprise party for her and I was able to fly up to make the surprise even bigger. She was totally surprised and didn't have a clue that we were all planning this.

Here are the friends who could make it. Some of her friends go all the way back to her childhood.
One of her friends planning the party even put together these cute favors for everyone. After lunch, we went back to her friend's house and had cake and shared how we each know my mom and why she has been such a special person in our lives. It was really great to hear all of those good things about my mom from a different perspective. I think the gift she found most special was a scrapbook made by my Auntie Nancy filled with pictures from her childhood. Some of them, she had never seen before, so it was a very meaningful gift.
