Happy Birthday Mom :)

Saturday was my Mom's 75th birthday. We all woke up early and headed to Laguna for family portraits at La Paz Park. It's been 3 years since the last time we did photos like these and since that time our family has grown a bit more :) My Mom's little family tree has grown to 17 people and we had so much fun taking pictures. I can't wait to see them when Ian, our awesome photographer has them ready for us! After our photo shoot, we all had a picnic lunch and headed to our homes for a few hours. Later everyone came by my house for a BBQ, cake and gifties!

Mom looks happy, don't you think?
The little boys are always close at hand to help out with the candles :)
I guess she liked her quilt :)


Happy 75th Birthday Mom!
I love you!

    I am so glad. You worked so hard on it and fretted about the tears.

    Looks like you had a great day. Her reaction is priceless. Also it looks like the pillow on your couch matches her quilt, better watch out she might take that home with her...
