My sweet Momma celebrated her 80th birthday on September 21. The weekend after was our official celebration. We had a couple of family dinners and my brothers came in from out of town, but the big do was a surprise party that Saturday afternoon. We held it at a local center in our town where my mom volunteers. Hubby and I did the set-up and take down... food, flowers and decorations ... inviting etc. with lots of help from our kids and their significant others. I have to say though, the vast majority of the work and what kept everything running smoothly was that man of mine! He is a big ole sweet fella with a heart of gold. Many of Mom's friends thought he was the caterer and commented on needing his name and number.. they might want to hire him. Hmm...could be a side job in his future. LOL!
Mother had a great time. We hoped for 50 - 60 folks. Had over 100! All 4 of her children came with their spouses. 3 of the 11 grandchildren were there with their honeys and 1 of the 10 great-grands. We are a scattered bunch, so it is tough to get us all together in the same place.
Here are some pictures from the day.....
