Carol Ann Turns 60!

That's right, my Mama (aka the best lady ever) turned the big 6-0 this weekend. While we were ready to put on a big shebang, she chose to just have her 4 best friends (one being her sister) and 3 daughters. We had such a great time focusing on a woman who rarely wants any attention on herself. ShaSha was the perfect hostess, as always, and I definitely think the celebration was a success.

We all remember how Shannon likes funny/different cakes, right? Well take a look at this beauty :)

Of course, it wouldn't have been any fun for my mama without having her grand-kids with her.
Sofia and the lady of the hour:

Mr. Landon and Mama:

I didn't get any pictures of Kaylee and my mom, but she was quite sleepy, as is to be expected :)

One surprise we worked on for my mom was to compile a book of pictures from her WHOLE 60 years. I'm pretty certain she loved it. I went ahead and contributed a funny little poem. As usual, it started with a little humor and then ended with a sappy note (I'm clearly the most emotional of my family, I think).

I think it was a tender moment when my mom, aunt, and her friends saw old pictures of my grandparents, Paul and Vera.

Personally, I loved the rockin' style throughout the book ;) My mom REALLY liked blue eyeshadow back in the day. hehehehe

We had such a great time. I loved celebrating a woman so worthy of celebration. What can I say, my Mama is the best woman I know... Happy Birthday, Mama! Love youuuuu!

For fun I thought I'd add some pictures of Sofia and Landon. These two are so fascinated with one another. They just can't get enough :)
