turned the big 6-0 this year!!!
So, we just had to P-A-R-T-Y Sloan style...meaning we celebrated with a month long of surprises!! What a blast we had honoring my fantastic mother, Lynn. We showered her with love and laughter, toasted her with friends and family, reminisced through some silly life-long photos, treated her to gifts of affection (my gift was such an honor to give her--I had 60 or so of her friends/family from years past to write a personal letter that I included in a scrapbook of sorts for her!), and then to cap it all off, surprised her with a family gathering for Thanksgiving! I think she loved her month, and I know that everyone involved in the celebration(s) did!
Love you Momma!
Dinner at City Grocery with in-town Sloans...
Then on our way to the car, we "noticed" some awfully familiar, yet dated, photographs of the birthday girl on the door to a local bakery (where Dad was headed to pick up the cake!). Hmm....
SURPRISE!!!!!!! We had mom's friends and family join us for an evening of toasts to the birthday girl! It was such fun, because many of the guests put a lot of thought and time into their toasts :) Very special.
One of my last minute "gifts" was a near life-sized photo of Momma from her debutante ball! The guests loved it...some more than others.
Lots and lots of fun!!!! Happy Birthday Momma!
