Mom's Day

Mom's day it was!
We had a surprise birthday party towards

the end of September for my mom.

Her actual birthday was September 30th,

and she is now 85 years young.

She had a great time!

We invited 52 friends and family.

48 were able to attend.
Those that did not attend were
 my kids and the grands.
My kids had to work and the grands were sick,
otherwise I would have taken them.

My mom (left) and my dad's sister (right).
 They are the same age.

My mom's friends.

The family.

On the left my mom's brother and sister.

My aunt on the right. 
Bob father down.

She is the wife of my mom's late brother who passed. 
Behind my aunt on the right my brother
 Tom in blue and his wife. 
The rest are a few cousins
with my sister Teresa standing at the end
talking to my Aunt Marie (dad's sister).

My mom's neighbors, and nuns from the church.

My mom's priest at the end.

She does a lot for her church.

Runs the bazaar. 

Cooks for the funeral luncheons.

Handles the kitchen for Monday movie night.

Plants and weeds the church flower gardens.

Helps out with the bake sales.

This is why she is still so young looking.

She never sits down for long.

More of our family.

The restaurant in her town was where 

we had her party.

They provided the balloons.

We had a menu made up which consisted of

your choice of one of the following.

Rib Basket (cole slaw & fries)

Walleye (fish) Basket (cole slaw & fries)

Chicken Salad Croissant (fries)

Chicken Club Wrap (fries)

Hamburger with your choice of toppings (fries)

Caesar Salad with Chicken

Chicken Tenders (fries)

We also provided drinks except alcohol.

The printed menu had no prices on it,

so no one would feel bad about ordering.

Everyone loved their meal.

We also had yellow and chocolate cakes

for dessert.

We hope we can do this again for her 90th.

Happy Birthday Mom.

You are the best!

Happy Birthday Blessings To All!
