Happy Birthday Mommy!



My amazing mom just celebrated a milestone birthday.  We partied for days in honor of her.  I can't believe how lucky I am to have her as my mom.  She is the most compassionate, understanding, strong, loving, and accepting person I know.  I can come to her with any problem, thought or topic and she always knows just what to say.  There have been multiple days recently, she has just shown up unannounced at a time when I really needed her.  She just knows when I could use a shoulder to cry on, or a cupcake to indulge in.  I cherish and appreciate her so much.  Especially now since I am a mom myself.  What an incredible example for me to follow.  My sisters and I took her to City Creek for some birthday shopping.  It's not hard to find clothes my mom looks adorable in.  I love these ladies so much.   

  
We just had to indulge in a little photo shoot on the Anthropologie couch.  


This is her updated make-up from Clinique. 
On her actual birthday, I hosted a birthday lunch with all the kids. 


Tucker and Sam love their grandma.  They are constantly fighting for her attention.


After lunch we headed to Yogurt Bliss for dessert.  Look at this posterity.  Nice work mom!  



Later that evening, the adults went to Trio for dinner without the kids.  It was such a fun night.  I honestly don't think my mom has ever looked better.  She really does get better with age.  Happy Birthday to my mother, my best friend, and my biggest supporter.  I wouldn't be the woman I am today without her incredible influence.  I love you mom, forever!

Annie! That was so sweet. It makes me wanna hug your mom! I guess I should meet her first, but if you're any reflection of the type of lady she is, I know she's special :)
