My Mom's Birthday Weekend Recap

Hello, blog friends!

Thanks so much for your lovely birthday wishes for my mom this past weekend. We had safe travels, and a great time visiting with our family. Unfortunately, I didn't take as many photos as I should have - just too busy having a good time visiting to pull out the camera here and there. So, I'll post the few Instagrams I took over the weekend and call it good.

Road trip snacks and project supplies:

Pinatas packed and ready to go: 

 

I made tissue paper flowers for party decorations during the drive over. When I ran out of tissue paper I counted the flowers and there were exactly 70! {Mom turned 70 yesterday.}

Doug kept himself busy with crossword puzzles:

I started fluffing a few of the tissue paper flowers, but quickly realized there wasn't enough room in our car to do all 70, so I held off and waited until we were at Mom's party venue.

Gorgeous azaleas at my sister's house:

Breakfast at IHOP on Saturday morning:

My niece Britny with Carrie - waiting to see the play that my niece Presley was in on Saturday afternoon:

Fast forward - my nephew Stone at IHOP on Sunday morning, celebrating his grandma's birthday with whipped cream on his pancakes:

And the birthday girl {yes, IHOP served her ice cream with a candle after breakfast}:

And with that I'm off to tackle the week ahead. I have a stack of birthday cards on my kitchen counter waiting to be opened tomorrow {I've always loved that my birthday is two days after my mom's!}, and this coming weekend we'll be celebrating Doug's dad's 80th birthday. Is it any wonder that this is one of my favorite times of the year?
