happy birthday, mom!!!

today is my mom's birthday.
it's rare that i get to actually see her on her birthday!
so FUN!!!

my aunt Kim (my mom's sister) came to visit her for the day so she was here, too!

the kids loved seeing her again.

we played with a lot of things in a little bit of time.

then we had a special lunch for my very special mom:
chicken salad on yummy rolls
"fancy" chips
strawberries and blackberries
"fancy" lemonade

and chocolate chip scones with a candle in it for dessert!

mom...i loved doing something special for YOU.
you always make everything special for US.

and after lunch my mom and aunt watched bailey and sawyer so that i could go volunteer in joshua's classroom. which was so fun for me and him. thanks, mom and kim!!!

i love you!
