Mom's Party (picture)

Monday, December 7, 2009

Mom's party was a tremendous success. There were at least 150 people (silly me forgot to have a guest book) who attended and Mom was so thrilled and shocked. She kept telling me that no one would come.

The first couple arrived at exactly 1:00 PM and the last left at 5:00 PM. It truly was a wonderful day and we got to see people we hadn't seen for years. Some of them we didn't recognize until we talked with them.

The weather was cold, but the sun was shining and we didn't get any snow. A perfect December day.

Mom's birthday is actually December 19, so if you still want to send a card you have time.
She has received lots of them from many of you and she is so pleased. Thank you!!!!!!
We had the party early in the month, due to the busy Christmas season and Indiana's December weather.

Thank you again for all the warm wishes to my Mom!

Ooooh, such a nice picture of you and your mom. What a special day that was. I'm sure there's a birthday album in the works (it's a must, of course).

Sounds like the party was a hit! That's a tribute to your Mom and all her kids! So glad the weather held for you. I had my annual Open House yesterday, and the ground was covered with snow - this morning! Like you, I'm so glad it waited.
