We held a birthday party for my mother on September 22 to celebrate her 85th birthday. Originally, I had planned to hold an open house and invite her friends from across the community, but she asked that I keep it low key and the only non-family members invited were James and Sherree. They eat Sunday dinner with us frequently and so she wanted them to come.
It was a lovely evening.
Mom requested an O'Rear's cake - white cake with white frosting. Blue is her favorite color so I had them add blue flowers and writing.
Cindie made a beautiful (as well as luscious) edible bouquet. I think it took her hours to do, and it was the hit of the party.
She opened cards after I played the traditional ten verse "Happy Birthday" song on the player piano. (L-R: Cindie, Mom, Leslie, Jenny.)
Jenny, Steve, Eric.
Lisa, Curt, Vanessa, Sherree, James, Craig.
My mother never quit smiling and even the next day she still was excited over the celebration.
