We wanted to make this a special one to honor our mom who is the most loving, nurting, kind, Christ-like person I have ever known.
We all gathered in Dallas (HUGE thank you to Aunt Kathleen who helped with flights) to celebrate this important day.
We had just a few days to be together, but we made the best of it.
Bowling with the kiddos. All the grandkids sans Jasmine (school), Millie, Londyn and Mia (babies).
Mom knew we would all be in town for her birthday, but she had no idea what kind of surprises we had up our sleeves. We had a big bbq complete with Picanha (tri tip steaks), Karen's pretzel jello salad and Paulas amazing birthday cake. Joana made a beautiful slide show that had mom in tears in .0005 seconds. We also put together a scrapbook including pics and letters from each of her children's family.
I was so touched this weekend to see the posterity my parents have created. We are all happy, strong in our faith and in our families. What a blessing!
I'm so thankful for my family. My brothers are wonderful people that I admire so much. I love my nieces and nephew so much and love that all the cousins get along so well.
Thanks everyone for a memorable weekend!
