My mom turned 70 last month in in February. (see how long it takes me to blog..sheesh)
We had a "My Favorite Things" themed party for her. A few pictures from the day ...
Raindrops on Roses
Whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
(well, the kettles are on another part of the tree)
Silver white winters that melt into springs. These are a few of my favorite things....
Here are some others...
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
brown paper packages tied up with strings
crisp apple strudel
(okay, maybe it was extra-crisp)
A few of her favorite things
schnitzel with noodles:)
The grandkids all sang the infamous song, then added a verse that Scott wrote specifically for Mom.
We composed a book for her, "These are a few of our Favorite Things about You."
She cried.
I'm not really that creative. I got most of the ideas from the wonderful Miss Jessica @ Shower of Roses. The tree was my dear friend, Rachel's idea.
It was a fantastic day, and my sisses and I had a great time putting the whole thing together.
Happy Birthday, Mama!
***so many of these ideas came from the wonderful Miss Jessica, of Shower of Roses blogging fame:) Check out her blog for many, many party ideas. You'll thank me later;)
