At Last Mom's Birthday...

It is the 24th and I was informed by Nikki (who I got to see with baby in belly) that I am being really slow... I have not posted mom's birthday pictures... ohhh darn didn't anybody tell you no one took a camera with them that day... I had too much on my mind and forgot it on the kitchen floor.... LOL ....Ya right like that will ever happen with me... though I know someone else that didn't take hers he he... but not like my computer I did let Pat use it...

November 20th mom turned 87 years old and we were there to celebrate....

Roger came rushing into the house a lot earlier then we thought he was going to... explaining to mom that he wouldn't be home later that some Dork Head (my words not his) didn't show up for work so he had to go back...

he was only coming for the good food.. you know that... he he

and I guess a little bit of good conversation...
Coffee being made... for all those addict to them... where is my coke????

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine....

You make me happy when skies are gray.... you never know dear how much I love you so please don't take my sunshine away....

(Pat was singing that to mom ... Yvette and I joined in)

Mom said enough was enough she was hungry ....
everybody get to the table or she was going to eat it all herself.. he he ... like that would ever happen....

You know that after lunch there is cake... and the story about this cake is Yvette worked really hard to make it.. .and actually it was very good.. even though they dropped on the way to the car.... doesn't look to bad for a cake being tossed around does it...

Mom helping out with the candles...
Yvette lighting the candles... I actually like this picture of her... not sure who took it though.... good job if it was you Pat... way to go if it was me he he ....
Happy Birthday to you... God I love it when mom smiles... it is so becoming of her...

One blow and the candles are out...

And that little glitter just above dad's cheek his emotions getting the best of him... and I wonder at times why I am such an emotional person... I really where it comes from.... LOL... like I even have to ask that question....

So here is the cake ...so where is the ice cream????

Oh one of mom's favorite things... getting gifts...

This one is from Pat and the Sisters...

And do you really think I am going to read all that....

So Pat sat and read what each of the Sisters had to say to mom on her birthday....

And a I love you and thank you ....
My turn.... and by the look on mom's face you know she doesn't have a clue what it is.... then I explained that it was all her great grandchildren....

Oh dear Lord I have that many... no mom we are missing a few of them but I will get them....

and then my card that said you had to bow before the birthday queen....

it was not quite loud enough for mom...

Me showing Hubert what I did for Caleb.... put his ultra sound photo in ... and now I am going to make one for Nikki's will one... baby belly... he he

Some talking around the table... while someone us did other things...

Mom looking at my card again...

My turn to cuddle up to mom...
ok I am not sure how this started but mom went over to dad.... being loving to him...

I think someone said that she should give dad a kiss thank you for his birthday gift to her.... and that was her reaction... she is so bad at times... it is just too funny....

Mom showing me the sweater Tommy and Barbara sent her... very pretty... can't wait to see her with it on....
And there she is the birthday girl.. with her sweet heart... all smiles.. and look at those eyes.. aren't they just too full of mischief .... I think so... got to love her... no the both of them...

Happy Birthday Mom... will be there next year with the camera... Love Ya...
