Birthday Love for my Momma! ๐ŸŽ‰

Peek a Boo, look at you...
Turning eighty today, Hip Hip Hooray!
You've had such a rough time, yet you still shine.
Wishing you a wonderful year, filled with much cheer.

Until it's time to celebrate again.
I love you, Momma!


The week before her birthday, my brother and family came to visit them for an early celebration.


All too soon, it was time to go.


On her actual birthday, the 7th, we surprised her and showed up to celebrate. Unfortunately, Nathan was unable to come because he had a presentation at school that day.
We brought the birthday flag with us for her special day and I made her some tiramisu "fluff" she could have for her "cake" since it was easy for her to eat.
She looks like a queen on her throne.


And here she is, standing! It looks like she's giving one of the boys an earful! 



Thank you to those of you who sent a card for her birthday, Vickie, Faith, Debbie W, Cathy (she loved your stitched card!), and Jo for the beautiful ecard! She was surprised and pleased to receive them all.
Here's the card Cathy sent, adorable!


For her birthday present, it was a joint effort getting her a cell phone to use with an Echo Spot. She loves it because she can call anyone, either with or without video, and she doesn't have to pick up a phone and dial with her poor hands.

I guess I should have told them to smile before I took the picture!

She had a great birthday, even if she didn't have a big shindig. Here's to another year!

I'm glad she had a happy birthday and that she liked my card. I wanted to do something special for a special lady on her 80th birthday!

The perfect gift for her to be able to chat to you all including the GMen whilst they are away.
Great flag.
