My Mom is 60!

I helped plan a surprise 60th birthday party for my mom, but first Lydia needed to nap with her daddy.

My Aunt Marcia's church allowed us to have the party in their fellowship hall, so we told mom we were all getting together to eat at Marcia's 'place'. We decorated with old photographs and fun, bright colors. 

She was VERY surprised!

Jason and Rachel were even able to make an appearance! (Steve and Melissa had planned to come, but could not due to unfortunate events.) 

At age 93, Ma Rea was there as chipper as ever.

Pastor Davis blessed the food.

There was a smorgasbord of food provided by all those in attendance.

On her actual birthday, we went to eat at the Mexican restaurant in town accompanied by the Crawfords and the McConnells.

These two couldn't get enough of each other. Cousin love is the best! 

Thanks again to all who made my mom feel super special and a very happy birthday to the best mom in the world!!
