| Party Day! ... Mom had been planning an open house at her house at 2pm for everyone to come and see us. Little does she know - this one is for her! |
 |
| The train station before the event. This place is so neat. I also found out that my Nanny (my Dad's Mom) lived upstairs for a while! My Aunts and I'm sure my Dad as well had actually taken trains from here as well. Very cool. |
 |
| It looked so cute inside and for $25 you can't beat it! |
 |
| These were all reused from our wedding! |
 |
| Perfect cake for the BINGO Queen! |
 |
| There here! Everyone is ready with the camera! |
 |
| Somehow we pulled it off... these girls were SO surprised! and when they saw that Aunt Maryanne, Leeann & Tammy drove from MN, that was a double surprise! |
 |
| We pulled one over on Grammy! |
 |
| It really was such a fun day catching up with everyone... |
 |
| Love these people! |
 |
| Time for cake! Lots of birthday gals... We had one Leeanne turning 50, Mom 75 and the twins 80! |
 |
| The girls with Auntie |
 |
| These 2 were a huge help with the party - not to mention, 2 of my favorite people! |
 |
| I wanted a picture of the girls together but they were not cooperating. I love this one though! |
 |
| The girls with Auntie Allison! |
 |
| Mare with her 2 "babies" |
 |
| "Big Betsy" and the girls (that's what they call her since we have a "Little Betsy" here in AZ!) |
 |
| Since Mom had invited everyone to her open house later that day - everyone went back there as well! I was so shocked. I didn't think anyone would go since we had the birthday brunch, but they were all troopers and headed back there. It was so fun! So thankful to everyone who hung out with us that day - it was perfect! |
 |
| Emily, Brian and Karen - with little Joey. Everyone loved him! |
 |
| Happy Birthday Mom - we love you! |
