it was my mom's birthday last week
and to celebrate, my sisters and i made a special birthday brunch for her
birthday cake, a breakfast casserole and lots of french toast
when i asked her what she wanted for her birthday
she said she wanted her "own" _ _ reasons why we love mom/lola
just like the one we made for my hubs a few weeks before
(the "fill in the blanks" are for her age--- i don't think she wants me disclosing that!)
so, by golly that is exactly what she got!
my sisters, zoe, pia and i each pitched in with reasons
and zoe and pia illustrated the reasons
she absolutely loved it!
and after we stuffed our bellies with too much yummy food
we sang happy birthday and blew out the cake
and once again stuffed our bellies,
but this time with the delicious cake my baby sister made
and because we ate way too much and because my mom loves shopping
we decided to go shopping to burn it all off!
happy birthday mom! thank you for all that you do for us
we love you!

I've been reading your blog for some years now and I never realised you had two sisters until I looked at the photo...
as for your mum, I wouldn't be able to guess her age as she looks so good. If I was you I'd find out her secret so that you can look great at her age :D.
I love this book too and don't blame her for wanting one :)
That cake looks AMAZINGGGGG. Also what an adorable little book :) I love the reasons you posted, and I'm sure that meant so much to her. Happy birthday to mom!
