Happy 60th!!

We went home for a quick visit this weekend to surprise my Mother in-law for her 60th Birthday. We surprised her at church this morning with yellow roses from each of the grand kids. (That included two on her chair one for each of our dogs who couldn't make it to church) The look on her face when she saw all of her kids (minus my sister in-law who couldn't make it) and grand kids at church waiting for her was priceless. We all live about 3 hours away from home so it is normally only on holidays that we all gather there.

After church we took her to brunch. Service was slow, food was okay but the company was perfect!




While we were waiting on our food we gave her the Tiffany's bracelet that we all got for her and had engraved with her initials. Lucky for us she was thrilled with it.




Next it was on to the parents house for cake. It was great to celebrate her special day with her.





My mother in-law is an amazing woman. If I can be half the mother that she has been to her children then motherhood will have been a success for me. Happy 60th Birthday Mom in-law!!


I have to give a shout out to my mom for puppy sitting our kids while we were enjoying the festivities. We normally use a pet sitting service but decided to try taking them home with us. It went SO well. Thanks Mom for puppy sitting , Rocco and Stella really appreciate it (and so do we)!

What did you all do fun this weekend? Have a great Monday!
